Diogo Jota’s funeral will be held on Friday in the same place he got married less than two weeks ago.
As the brothers overtook another vehicle the Lamborghini they were in crashed due to a tyre blowout and caught fire.
Both the 28-year-old Diogo and the 25-year-old Andre died at the scene.
The Liverpool and Portugal married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso on June 22 in Sao Cosme, in his home city of Porto.
His funeral will take place in Sao Cosme at 4pm on the day after he lost his life, just 12 days after he was married there.
On Thursday afternoon, hearses were seen pulling up to a funeral home in Puebla de Sanabria, the town in north-western Spain where the bodies of Diogo and Andre were taken.
The couple were married with their three children in attendance: sons Dinis, born in 2021, and Duarte, born 2023, and a daughter, born in 2024 whose name has not been released.
Jota and Cardoso had been in a relationship since 2012, and are childhood sweethearts, having attended the same high school together in Porto.
In his last post on social media prior to his death, Jota shared an emotional video from the pair’s wedding day, captioning the post: ‘A day we will never forget’.
Jota and his brother were driving on their way back to England as they planned to travel by ferry due to doctors advising the Liverpool star not to fly after minor surgery.
Rui Laura of CNN Portugal explained: ‘The surgery he had had was lung surgery and he had been advised against flying following this.
‘He was on his way to the northern Spanish port city of Santander to cross the ferry and reach the UK that way and carry on with the car once he reached Britain.’
The tributes for Jota have been numerous, with Liverpool’s Andy Robertson providing one as moving as any to his departed friend.
The Scot wrote on Instagram: ‘The ones I’m thinking about most right now are the family. Their loss is too much to bear. I’m so sorry that they have lost two such precious souls – Diogo and Andre.
‘For the team and the Club, we’ll try to cope with this together… however long that takes.
‘For me, I want to talk about my mate. My buddy. The bloke I loved and will miss like crazy.
‘I could talk about him as a player for hours, but none of that feels like it matters right now.
‘It’s the man. The person. He was such a good guy. The best. So genuine. Just normal and real.
‘Full of love for the people he cared about. Full of fun.
‘He was the most British foreign player I’ve ever met. We used to joke he was really Irish… I’d try to claim him as Scottish, obviously. I even called him Diogo MacJota.
‘We’d watch the darts together, enjoy the horse racing. Going to Cheltenham this season was a highlight – one of the best we had.
‘The last time I saw him was the happiest day of his life – his wedding day. I want to remember his never-ceasing smile from that magical day. How much he was bursting with love for his wife and family.
‘I can’t believe we’re saying goodbye. It’s too soon, and it hurts so much.
‘But thank you for being in my life, mate – and for making it better.
‘Love you, Diogo.❤️’
