UEFA Nations League: Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo expressed shock and sadness over the tragic death of his teammate Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva in a car accident in Spain on Thursday.
In a heartfelt post on social media, Ronaldo wrote, “It doesn't make sense. Just now we were together in the National Team, just now you had gotten married. To your family, your wife, and your children, I send my condolences and wish them all the strength in the world. I know you will always be with them. Rest in Peace, Diogo and Andre. We will all miss you."
The accident happened in the Spanish province of Zamora at around 12:30 am local time. The Spanish police said that Jota’s car went off the road while trying to overtake another vehicle. The car had a tyre blowout and caught fire. Both Jota and his brother Andre died at the scene.
