Hundreds of mourners lined the streets of Gondomar to pay their final respects to fallen Liverpool star Diogo Jota at the city's chapel.

Fans snaked around the Portuguese principality as the tearful crowd queued to honour the Liverpool star before his funeral tomorrow.

Mourners sobbed and carried roses and Portugal national team scarves in homage to Jota, who won the UEFA Nations League less than a month ago.

Diogo Jota's heartbroken wife and parents have gathered at a wake and held a vigil at the coffins of the Liverpool star and his brother Andre as the world of football mourns their deaths today.
