Yes and be aware of some of these articles that have a picture of the car after the accident. I saw a road in one in the corner of my eye but didn't want to look at the rest.

RIP Diogo my thoughts are with all those fortunate enough to have known him closely and spend a great deal of time with him his family friends and team mates

Oh Diogo!
My first mental image when I heard the news just now, was of him holding up Luis Diaz shirt after scoring, when Luis was going through that hell.
That song will be immortalised now.
RIP Diogo. You gave us so many fantastic moments.

The beautiful soul that is Jurgen Norbert Klopp speaks for us all.
From his instagram

This is a moment where I struggle!

"There must be a bigger purpose, but I can't see it!

"I'm heartbroken to hear about the passing of Diogo and his brother Andre.

"Diogo was not only a fantastic player, but also a great friend, a loving and caring husband and father.

"We will miss you so much.

"All my prayers, thoughts and power to Rute, the kids, the family, the friends and everyone who loved them! Rest in peace - Love J."

Looking at that article.

I'd guess they went quickly, and sadly it could be a closed casket funeral.

Not fair is it?? poor man and his brother...to be taken like that.

[redebreck]

Awful news. Rest in peace Diogo.

Looking at the wreckage and the aftermath, if there's any consolation to be had from this tragic situation, it might be that it seems like it was quick for both of them.

I know that sounds macabre to say it like that and obviously provides no comfort or consolation to the family, but I had a mate who died in a car accident when we were 19, and he lived for about a week or two after the accident before passing on, and it was quite honestly the worst possible way to go with the suffering he had to endure and what his family also had to endure watching him try to hang on like that.

His family would never admit it back then as they were obviously hoping he'd hang on and eventually survive, but being frank today they'll say there was some relief when he finally passed, because of the level of pain he was in at the time and knowing what a painful life he'd have had if he'd survived.

It was eerily similar to this, now that I come to think about it.

Loss of control as they were trying to overtake another vehicle.
The difference being the survival of the accident for a while.

I truly feel for his family and all who've survived him and send them my condolences.

Many years and decades on, I've never gotten over his death.

You never do,
....no matter what anyone says.
I miss him terribly to this day.

There are no words that can lessen the pain and suffering of such a tragic accident, our thoughts and condolences now have to be focused on his surviving wife, his lovely children, the parents and other family members, whose pain right now will be so raw and unimaginable …

R.I.P Diogo

Thanks for the memories, rest assured your song and legacy will never be forgotten…

Statement from The Manager

What to say? What can anyone say at a time like this when the shock and the pain is so incredibly raw? I wish I had the words but I know I do not.

All I have are feelings that I know so many people will share about a person and a player we loved dearly and a family we care so much about.

My first thoughts are not those of a football manager. They are of a father, a son, a brother and an uncle and they belong to the family of Diogo and Andre Silva who have experienced such an unimaginable loss.

My message to them is very clear – you will never walk alone. The players, the staff, the supporters of Liverpool Football Club are all with you and from what I have seen today, the same can be said of the wider family of football.

This is not solely a response to tragedy. It is also a reaction to the goodness of the people involved and the respect that so many have for the boys as individuals and for the family as a whole.

For us as a club, the sense of shock is absolute. Diogo was not just our player. He was a loved one to all of us. He was a teammate, a colleague, a workmate and in all of those roles he was very special.

I could say so much about what he brought to our team but the truth is everyone who watched Diogo play could see it. Hard work, desire, commitment, great quality, goals. The essence of what a Liverpool player should be.

There were also the parts that not everyone got to see. The person who never sought popularity but found it anyway. Not a friend to two people, a friend to everyone. Someone who made others feel good about themselves just by being with them. A person who cared deeply for his family.

The last time we spoke, I congratulated Diogo on winning the Nations League and wished him luck for his forthcoming wedding. In many ways, it was a dream summer for Diogo and his family, which makes it all the more heartbreaking that it should end like this.

When I first came to the club, one of the first songs I got to know was the one that our fans sing for Diogo. I had not worked with him previously but I knew straight away that if the Liverpool supporters, who have seen so many great players over the years, had such a unique chant for Diogo, he must have special qualities.

That we have lost those qualities in such terrible circumstances is something we have not yet come to terms with. For this reason, we need everyone at the club to stand together and to be there for one another. We owe this to Diogo, to Andre Silva, to their wider family and to ourselves.

My condolences go to Diogo’s wife, Rute, their three beautiful children and to the parents of Diogo and Andre Silva.

When the time is right, we will celebrate Diogo Jota, we will remember his goals and we will sing his song. For the time being, we will remember him as a unique human being and mourn his loss. He will never be forgotten.

His name is Diogo.

Arne is another in the right mould of humanity and compassion for our club like some of our bosses before him.

Can't say anything more than what's been said here, way to young. condolences to his wife, children and parents.
