Just over a month ago, Jota lifted the Premier League trophy and then followed up by lifting the Nations League 2025 with Portugal.

Check out a screengrab of Sheamus' Instagram comment on Liverpool F.C.'s post:

Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva were involved in a tragic car crash in Zamora, Spain. Silva, 25, played for Portuguese club Penafiel. Meanwhile, Jota lost his life at the age of 28.

Jota's last professional match was the Nations League final against Spain. His last goal as a professional footballer was against Liverpool's Merseyside rivals, Everton F.C.
