The Spanish Civil Guard confirmed that the Liverpool player and his brother were found dead after their car went off a road near the city of Zamora.

The group of Liverpool players was led by Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson. The former carried a wreath of Jota’s No.20 shirt, while Robertson held the No.30 which belonged to Silva, a midfielder with Portuguese second-tier side Penafiel.

Mr. Jota and his brother André Silva died in Spain, the authorities said. The crash came two weeks after the Portuguese player’s wedding.
