Late Liverpool forward, Diogo Jota was in a ‘happy moment’ before his tragic death.
This was revealed by the President of the Gondomar SC, Álvaro Cerqueira, who was one of the last people to speak to Jota.
Recall that Jota and his brother Andre Silva died in a car accident in the early hours of Thursday morning in the northwest of Spain.
The Lamborghini both brothers were travelling in was forced off the road after a tyre blowout, bursting into flames with the footballers still inside.
The funeral for both brothers will take place on Saturday morning in Jota’s hometown of Gondomar.
However, Club president Cerqueira has now revealed that he was in frequent contact with Jota over the years, adding that he spoke to the former Wolves attacker just before Thursday’s devastating accident.
“It was just after 10 p.m., last night, we were on the phone and he was fine,” Cerqueira told Jornal de Noticias.
“We spoke almost every week and I know [he] was going through a happy moment.”
