Liverpool and Ronaldo lead tributes to Jota

Liverpool say they are "devastated" by the "unimaginable loss" of forward Diogo Jota, who has died in a car crash aged 28.

The Portugal international and his brother Andre Silva, 26, died in the accident, which happened in the Spanish province of Zamora.

Jota married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso, with whom he had three children, just last month.

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo, who played alongside Jota, wrote on social media: "It doesn't make sense. Just now we were together in the national team, you had just got married."

Five-time Ballon d'Or Ronaldo send his condolences to Jota's family, wife and children, and added: "I know you will always be with them.
