Diogo Jota's heartbroken grandfather has revealed how he learned the Liverpool forward and his brother had been killed in a car crash when he turned on his TV.

Premier League star Jota, 28, and his brother Andre Silva, 25, were driving through northern Spain in an acid green Lamborghini Huracan when the fatal crash occurred on July 3.

The tragedy came less than a fortnight after Jota married his childhood sweetheart Rute Cardoso, whom he shared three young children with, and just two months after he won the English league title with Arne Slot's side.

The brothers' deaths sent the football world into a period of shock and mourning, with a swathe of tributes having been paid throughout stadiums in the weeks and months since.

However, the devastation from that early July morning is still reverberating through Jota and Silva's family, with their grandfather saying he thinks about them 'every day'.
