Family, friends, and Liverpool teammates gathered on Friday in Portugal to pay their last respects to Diogo Jota and his younger brother, André Silva, who died in a car crash on Thursday.
The joint funeral ceremony took place at Igreja Matriz de Gondomar church in Jota’s hometown, Gondomar.
On Friday, Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, alongside, players including Van Dijk, Alexis Mac Allister, Andy Robertson, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Wataru Endo, Federico Chiesa, and goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher also paid tribute to the 28-year-old forward and his 25-year-old brother.
Former teammates, including Brighton midfielder James Milner and Ajax's Jordan Henderson, also joined.
