Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who played for Penafiel in the Portuguese second division, were believed to have been driving to a ferry in Spain to travel to Britain when their Lamborghini veered off the road and burst into flames after midnight on Thursday.

Lamborghini has expressed its condolences following the crash that claimed the lives of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his younger brother, reportedly while driving a Lamborghini Huracán.
