The car involved in the accident was identified as Jota’s Lamborghini Huracan, a model known for safety-related recalls during its production years.

UEFA announced a moment of silence in memory of Jota before matches at the Women’s Euro 2025 tournament.
Jota, who recently got married to Rute Cardoso, leaves behind a devastated family and three children. His successful career saw him excel at both Wolves and Liverpool, becoming a beloved figure among fans for his goal-scoring abilities and contributions to the sport. The tragic accident has left a void in the football world, with memories of Jota’s talent and character enduring in the hearts of those who knew him.
