Liverpool teammates of Diogo Jota arrive at church in Portugal for his funeral.

Liverpool players and staff past and present are in Portugal to pay their respects at Diogo Jota’s funeral following his death in a car crash in Spain.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot, captain Virgil van Dijk and defender Andrew Robertson this morning arrived at the funeral carrying flowers, followed by midfielder Alexis Mac Allister and team-mates past and present.

The father-of-three, who married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso 11 days before the accident, was killed alongside his brother Andre Silva after a Lamborghini they were travelling in burst into flames following a suspected tyre blowout in the early hours of Thursday morning.
