Liverpool confirmed that forward Rota died in a traffic accident at the age of 28.
Milner posted a message to commemorate:
I feel extremely sad about the death of Diogo and Andre. I cherish the time I shared the locker room with him very much. We spent many happy moments together, and even often joked with each other because of each other's "stubborn" personality. At the same time, I was amazed at his performance on the court✨. My emotions, love and support are dedicated to his family, friends and the Liverpool family ❤️
Rest in peace, Jota
Love you, brother.
You will never walk alone
