Death of Diogo Jota: Two weeks after dream wedding, Rute will attend funeral of the man she loved all her life
In the space of two months after his last goal, the mercurial, beloved Portuguese football player went on to win the Premier League and Uefa Nations League and marry his long-time girlfriend, Rute Cardoso, the mother of his three children, in his home city of Porto. 'Yes to Forever,' he wrote on Instagram just 11 days ago, underneath a stream of pictures from the ceremony. It was, it appeared, the best summer of the 28-year-old's life. But at 12.30am local time yesterday morning, that life was cut devastatingly short in a car crash on the motorway in Zamora, a province in north-western Spain. As a result of the accident, the car caught fire and both occupants died In images captured by Spanish media, a blackened twist of shredded metal is all that remains of the Lamborghini in which he was driving with his brother, Andre, also a footballer, with the Portuguese second division side Penafiel. In a statement, the Spanish guardia civil outlined the apparent cause of the crash on the A52, which links northern Portugal to Spain. 'The investigation points to a road accident due to a burst tyre while overtaking. As a result of the accident, the car caught fire and both occupants died,' it said. Officials in high-visibility jackets knelt by the scene of the crash, taking photos of the unrecognisable vehicle and shards of a grey metal barrier smashed through by the force of the accident. Jota was due to report back to Liverpool on Monday for the start of pre-season training. Reports emerged yesterday that he was travelling back to England by car as he had recently had lung surgery and was told by doctors not to fly. As the news spread, a shockwave of grief engulfed the sporting world, with fans leaving wreaths up against the brick walls of Anfield, the stadium he had sent into raptures since joining the club in 2020. At the time, his £45m transfer from Wolves appeared something of a gamble for Jurgen Klopp's side, which had just won the Premier League for the first time in 20 years. But then the mazy dribbles began, the ball pinging between Jota, Sadio Mane and Mohammed Salah, and the goals started to bang into the net, 85 of them in total in 165 appearances. 'It doesn't make sense,' Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese captain, wrote in a tribute on social media. 'We were just together in the national team.' Having overcome injuries, it was hoped he would return to his best form this season In the 49th and final appearance Jota made, he was sent on at the interval in extra-time during Portugal's penalty shootout victory over Spain. It was the second trophy he lifted with his country, and added to the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Championship trophies he already had at home. This season, it was hoped he would return to his best form, having overcome a series of rib, hip and muscle injuries that saw his game time carefully managed. In the stands, he would have been watched by Ms Cardoso, and perhaps some of the high-school sweethearts' three young children, Denis, Duarte and a daughter born last November. In 2022, Ms Cardoso released a proposal video of Jota bending down on one knee under a pine-wreathed canopy in the garden of a holiday villa. When the couple moved to the English Midlands in 2017, with Jota joining Wolves from Atletico Madrid, she revealed that they had settled in for long binges of Peaky Blinders, the TV crime series set in the region. A player who sometimes looked like he was being controlled by a PlayStation, Jota revealed in 2021 that he was equally adept at online sports as the real thing, reaching the number one position worldwide in Fifa's Ultimate Team Championship Leaderboard during an injury lay-off. Appearing in a podcast with Liverpool's performance psychologist Lee Richardson last year, he said he tried not to bring the 'stresses' of his career into his family home. 'You want to be the best father you can be,' he said. 'You try to lead by example… even though sometimes you want to get a bit more rest in the afternoon.' He continued: 'I had this yesterday after the game. I wanted to get a bit of rest. One of my kids wanted to play some football and you need to be on it.' Jota's body was brought, along with his brother's, to the Zamora Forensic Medicine Institute, where the post-mortem examinations were to take place. Less than two weeks after they were married, posing in front of the gold-and-white altar in a Porto church, Ms Cardoso will have to prepare to attend the funeral of the man she had loved all her life.

Death of Diogo Jota: Shockwave of grief as football left devastated by loss of newly married Liverpool star and brother

Colm O'Regan: Horrible Histories is grand, but what about our own horrible history?
Booing Queen Elizabeth the first is always a good idea to get an Irish crowd going. But it feels hollow. We're being asked to boo her for other bad things. But there's not a mention about Ireland. The actors carry on oblivious, but I know I'm not the only one thinking WHAT ABOUT THE PLANTATIONS? We're at Horrible Histories: Terrible Tudors in the Olympia Theatre. Five minutes in and I thought maybe we should have gone to the other one: Awful Egyptians. Cleopatra, pyramids, King Tut are more accessible. (I'm assuming they don't go into too much detail on brother-sister stuff). We're sort of bogged down at the battle of Bosworth Field. Henry Tudor defeats Richard III and he's buried in what will become a carpark in Leicester. The reference doesn't really land for us. The battle of Bosworth Field doesn't even make it into the 'development squad' for Irish history taught in schools. The Tudors don't really get going for us until they start taking our wild oaks. But the children are still into it and fairly soon we get onto Henry VIII's wild oats and we're on familiar territory. By the interval, a full Thr-Olympia is singing 'Divorced, Beheaded, DIED/Divorced, Married, SURVIVED' as a tuneful way of remembering the fate of Henry VIII's wives. After two hours of English history, Irish children have loved it. Even though some of the jokes don't land, the acting's good, the songs are good and the brand is so strong that people are willing to overlook the fact that 50 yards from Dublin Castle, we are hearing the doings of English kings and queens without a scintilla about plantations, Kings County, Queens County, Desmond Rebellions. I don't blame the Horrible Histories people — they've a lot to get through. And they might reasonably assume that in a country full of people who can talk about 800 years for 800 hours might be already well covered in terms of funny Throlympia-filling, stage shows for children about our 300 rebellions, our Celtic past, our saving of literacy in the dark ages. After all, we sustained musical comedies about Saipan, Munster beating the All-Blacks, Mattress Mick. Surely we can muster something for the kiddies about paying homage to Celtic chieftains by sucking their nipples. Actually we have done it (okay, not the nipple thing). There were two very good series of Blasts from the Past, a funny, well-made children's TV show where a girl goes back in time to help out. That finished in 2022. We watch it on RTÉ Player. That's the good thing about history. Even though it's all dates, it doesn't date. But nothing since or at least definitely nothing to fill the Olympia. I get it. TV is expensive. Ireland is small. But time is now big money. At the moment The Rest is History podcast with its 11 million downloads, 1.2 million monthly YouTube views andover 45,000 paying subscribers is wending its way through the Irish War of Independence. And in the past two years, over the course of about 10 hours, the podcast has gone through Irish history in an entertaining way. For millions of English people it's amazing watching them finally find out 'What was the problem with you Irish, eh?' With Horrible Histories, my children now know more about the various Queen Marys than I ever did. I realise I was never taught much about English apart from what they done on us. But let's fill the Olympia with our own history. Tales of Irish monks inventing the space between words, the time the Irish tried to invade Canada, fights over eel-fishing rights, Grainnuaile shocking Queen Elizabeth I (booo!) by throwing a snotty lacy hankie into the fire, the English banning-14th century hipster haircuts in Kilkenny. The past is a funny country. Let's make some jokes. Read More Bernard O'Shea: Observe the Constitution of the Irish Family Holiday
