The tragic death of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who passed away in a car accident, put the football world in mourning.
The Liverpool star and his brother had a car accident in the Zamora region of Spain after their Lamborghini veered off the road and caught fire on impact in a bid to catch a ferry to England later that morning to resume pre-season training.
The streets of Gondomar in Portugal were quiet on Friday morning, before the arrival of his corpse, as the people were filled with tears and sorrow.
According to Daily Star, the mayor of Gondomar declared Friday, July 4, 2025, a day of municipal mourning for the late footballers, who were residents of the town.
Locals lined the streets in silence, holding candles, red scarves, and flowers. Many wore old jerseys from Jota’s youth football days, as well as Porto.

In attendance were the late footballers’ mum Isabella, father, and grandfather, and they were accompanied by football agent Jorge Mendes, who represented Jota during his lifetime.
Bright the Seer predicts Jota's death
A prophetess, Bright Ndibunwa, popularly known as Bright The Seer, had purportedly predicted the death of Liverpool star Diogo Jota.
In a trending video on IG, the prophetess claimed that the Spirit of God showed her notable visions concerning the death of a football personality.
Bright The Seer also asserted that there would be both good news and some tragic news.
She said:
"July is a month of less bad news. The people of football family, there will be some good news.
"The spirit of God is showing the death of a non sports person and footballer."
