Following the tragic death of Diogo Jota, Liverpool forward, the football world remains in mourning. One of the most heartfelt messages came from Mohamed Salah, a key figure at the club and Jota teammate, who expressed his grief through social media.

A Message Full of Sadness

“I truly have no words. Until yesterday, I never thought there would be something that would make me fear returning to Liverpool after the break. Teammates come and go, but not like this. It’s going to be extremely difficult to accept that Diogo won’t be there when we return,” Salah wrote on his Instagram account, alongside a black-and-white photo of the two celebrating a goal.

The Egyptian striker also took a moment to express his sympathy for Jota’s family: “My thoughts are with his wife, his children, and of course his parents, who suddenly lost both of their sons. Those close to Diogo and his brother André need all the support they can get. They will never be forgotten.”

Henderson Pays Tribute at Anfield

Another former teammate who openly showed his sorrow was Jordan Henderson, now playing for Ajax. The midfielder shared three seasons with Jota at Liverpool and chose to pay tribute by visiting Anfield, where hundreds of fans gathered to say goodbye with flowers, flags, and heartfelt messages.

Henderson, visibly emotional, took part in the tribute that honored the 28-year-old striker, whose passing has deeply affected the club and its supporters.

The Tragic Accident: What Happened?

According to reports from the Spanish Civil Guard, the fatal accident occurred on the A-52 highway in the province of Zamora. The vehicle carrying Diogo Jota and his brother André Días veered off the road and burst into flames upon impact. Both men died at the scene.

Early investigations suggest a tire blowout may have caused the driver to lose control. André, 26, was a professional footballer for Penafiel, a team in Portugal’s second division.

Emergency services, firefighters, and traffic officers quickly arrived at the scene, but there was nothing they could do to save the lives of the two brothers.

The pain caused by Diogo Jota’s death is immeasurable within the club. Mohamed Salah, one of Liverpool’s leaders, summed it up perfectly: “A loss impossible to overcome.”
