Devastating news in the world of football this morning. Diogo Jota has passed away. The Liverpool and Portuguese national team forward died in a car accident in Spain that killed him and his younger brother André Silva. Jota's tragic passing came just a month after he played for Portugal in the UEFA Nations League Final and won the title and just two weeks after he married his long time partner. His brother was a forward for Portuguese second division side F.C. Penafiel. Jota was just 28 years old, André just 25.
Both James Benge and Guillem Balagué join the Morning Footy desk to discuss the legacies of both Diogo and André and the reactions from around the world that have been pouring in since the news broke.
