Diogo Jota's Tragic Death and Reactions

Diogo Jota’s Tragic Death: A Nation Mourns, Ronaldo and Messi React

The football world was shaken on July 3, 2025, when Portuguese forward Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva died in a horrific car crash.

The accident occurred on the A-52 highway near Cernadilla, Zamora, in northwestern Spain, during the early morning. Their Lamborghini reportedly suffered a tyre blowout while overtaking, veered off-road, and burst into flames—killing both instantly.

Jota had just married his longtime partner Rute Cardoso and was a father of three. The tragedy, coming so soon after a joyful milestone, has left the football world heartbroken.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Emotional Tribute

“It doesn’t make sense. We were just in the national team together, and you had just gotten married. To your family, your wife and your children, I send my condolences and all my strength. We’ll all miss you.”
– Cristiano Ronaldo

Lionel Messi Also Speaks Out

“Jota was a fantastic player and a kind soul. My heart goes out to his family, friends, and the Portuguese people. Football has lost a bright light.”
– Lionel Messi

Despite fierce rivalries, Ronaldo and Messi both mourned the loss of a young star whose career and life ended far too soon.

Rest in peace, Diogo and André. Gone too soon, never forgotten.
