A video shared by the club shows Jota sitting in the changing rooms at Anfield Stadium shortly after he joined the club in September 2020, where he says: “They are one of the biggest teams in the country, I couldn't say no.”

The crash occurred in the province of Zamora and Jota’s 26-year-old brother, Andre, a footballer for FC Penafiel in Portugal, is also reported to have been in the vehicle.

It comes just two weeks after Jota married his long-term girlfriend Rute Cardoso in Porto.
