The bodies of Portugal international, Diogo Jota, and his younger brother Andre, were met with a sombre reception as heartbroken supporters lined the streets outside a church in Gondomar, northern Portugal, on Thursday night.
According to Dailymail, tears streamed down mourners’ faces as hearses transporting the brothers’ coffins arrived just after 11pm at the Capela de Ressurreicao, ahead of an early morning wake.
The two siblings tragically lost their lives in the early hours of Thursday in a car crash near Cernadilla, just across the Spanish border, when the tyre of Jota’s Lamborghini Huracan reportedly burst while overtaking another vehicle.
The supercar veered off the A-52 motorway, rolled multiple times, and burst into flames—killing both brothers on the spot.
