UEFA Nations League: Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh expressed deep sorrow over the tragic death of Portugal and Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva in a car accident in Spain on Thursday.
"Hard to believe Diogo is gone! He was a baller who brought the game to life every time he touched the pitch! One of the finest ever. Condolences to the family, can't imagine the pain of losing not just Diogo, but his brother in the same accident. Strength to all who knew and loved them," Yuvraj posted on X.
The accident took place around 12:30 am local time in the Spanish province of Zamora. According to the Spanish police, Jota’s car veered off the road while trying to overtake another vehicle. A tyre blowout caused the car to lose control and catch fire. Sadly, both Jota and his brother died at the scene.
