‘We became great friends’ – Luis Diaz recalls heartfelt gesture of support from Diogo Jota in 2023

Luis Diaz has said that he broke down in tears upon hearing of the death of Diogo Jota and recalled a ‘very nice’ gesture from his Liverpool teammate two years ago.

The Portuguese forward and his brother Andre Silva were killed in a car crash in northern Spain in the early hours of Thursday morning, with their funeral taking place in their hometown near Porto on Saturday.

The Colombia international was unable to attend that service but has paid an emotional tribute to the Reds’ number 20.
