One of the most surprising and saddest news stories this Thursday is the death of a footballer from the European football elite.

At the time of the accident, he was with his 26-year-old brother, who has also lost his life according to the latest reports.
The footballer was in Spain on vacation after playing the 24/25 season with Liverpool. Arne Slot's players had been given time off by the Dutch coach since they weren't participating in the Club World Cup. That break had allowed Diogo Jota himself to finally get married and go on vacation, recharging his energy for the next season.

This is truly painful information for his family, considering that he had gotten married just ten days ago. What seemed like a vacation meant for enjoyment and preparation for the next season has ended in the worst possible way.
