'It can't be true' - Diogo Jota's wife Rute recalls discovering his tragic death
Rute Cardoso says she warned Jota to watch the road before the crash that killed him and his brother, according to the new biography.
- In the new biography "Forever In Our Hearts," widow Rute Cardoso revealed she told Diogo Jota, "Keep your eyes on the road," in her final message to the Liverpool star before his fatal crash.
- Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva died in July 2025 when their hired Lamborghini crashed in northern Spain while returning to the UK after his recent wedding.
- Tragedy struck just 11 days after Jota married Rute Cardoso in Porto, Portugal; Cardoso said renting a Lamborghini was "a surprise" because the striker was not typically interested in fancy cars.
- Liverpool retired Jota's No20 shirt and installed a permanent memorial at Anfield, honoring the forward who turned out 123 times for the club, scoring 47 goals.
- Former Liverpool bosses Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot contributed to the biography, which is on sale for £22, with all profits supporting a grassroots football programme established by the LFC Foundation.
