Ex-Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has paid emotional tribute to his former star striker Diogo Jota following the player’s tragic passing.

The Liverpool forward was killed in a car crash at the age of just 28 in the early hours of Thursday morning in Spain, along with his brother, Andre Silva, a footballer for FC Penafiel in Portugal.

But I can’t see it.

“I’m heartbroken to hear about the passing of Diogo and his brother André.

Rest in peace - Love J.”

Jota scored 65 goals in 182 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions, helping guide the club to two Carabao Cups and one FA Cup under Klopp between 2020 and 2024.

The club said it is “devastated by the tragic passing of Diogo Jota” and requested privacy for the family as they come to terms with the “unimaginable loss”.

RIP Diogo and Andre.”

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher posted on X: “Devastating news about Diogo Jota and his brother Andre this morning.

Thoughts are with everyone of their family and friends, especially his wife Rute and their three lovely kids.” Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard also posted: “RIP Diogo.

Condolences to his family and friends during this incredibly sad time.”

Uefa have confirmed that a minute’s silence will be held ahead of both of today’s Euro 2025 matches in memory of Jota and his brother Silva, with Portugal taking on Spain in Bern.
