Diogo Jota’s wife and family have been joined by Liverpool players for the funeral of the forward and his brother in Portugal following their death in a car crash in Spain.

The father-of-three, who married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso 11 days before the accident, died alongside his brother, Andre Silva, after a Lamborghini they were travelling in burst into flames following a suspected tyre blowout in the early hours of Thursday morning.
