Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota has been killed in a car crash in northwestern Spain at the age of 28.
His brother, André, also died in the crash, which happened at around 00:30.
The car, a Lamborghini, left the road due to a tyre blow out while overtaking another car. The car set on fire, and both are confirmed to have died.

The news comes just under two weeks after the Portugal international got married to his long-term girlfriend Rute Cardoso, with whom he has three children. They tied the knot on 22 June.
