Mohamed Salah posted an emotional photo on his official Twitter account, showing him celebrating a goal alongside Jota. Along with the image, he wrote heartfelt words expressing the depth of his sorrow:
“I’m speechless. Just yesterday, I couldn’t have imagined that anything would make me fear returning to Liverpool after the break.”
He continued:
“Players may leave clubs by transfer or retirement, but to lose someone in such a sudden way is unimaginable. Diogo’s departure is not just a football loss—it’s a human one. He was always loved and a source of positive energy in the locker room.”
Salah added:
“My heart goes out to his wife and children who have lost their rock, and to his parents who had to say goodbye to two sons in a single moment. I also pray for strength and patience for his brother André, who met the same fate. Diogo was more than a teammate—he was a brother and a close friend to us all. We will never forget you.”
Meanwhile, Portuguese media reported that the bodies of Diogo Jota and his brother arrived late Thursday evening in the northern Portuguese city of Gondomar, accompanied by a large crowd of fans, following the completion of legal procedures in Spain.

Portuguese and global fans, as well as Liverpool FC and his teammates, all expressed deep sorrow at the loss of a young star who was not only brilliant on the field but also known for his humility, fighting spirit, and deep love for his family.
