Portugal boss Roberto Martinez speaks following Diogo Jota and Andre Silva's funeral

Portugal boss Roberto Martinez said "the world has been together" as Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva were laid to rest.

It's been reported the crash, on the A52 known as Palacios de Sanabria, near the city of Zamora, was the result of a blown-out tyre as Jota and Andre, himself a player for Portuguese side Penafiel, were making their way towards a ferry that was bound for the UK ahead of a return to pre-season training.

Liverpool FC players, family, friends and loved ones all attended today's funeral in an incredibly moving and emotional service.



The two clearly meant so much to the teams they played for as people from Porto, Portugal and Liverpool all provided emotional tributes in their memory.
