Footballers Diogo Jota and André Silva have been honoured by their family, friends and teammates at a joint funeral in Portugal.
Jota, 28, was laid to rest alongside his brother, Silva, 25, after they died in a car crash on Thursday.
Hundreds of locals and supporters gathered at the Igreja Matriz in Gondomar, where the brothers are from, on Saturday.
The funeral also brought together huge names from across football, including Jota’s teammates Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson, who were seen carrying floral tributes into the church ahead of the ceremony.
Jota and Silva died at about 00:30 local time in the Spanish province of Zamora.
It is understood they were on the way to take a ferry and return to Liverpool for Jota’s pre-season training when the accident happened.
The Portugal forward had undergone minor surgery and doctors had advised him against flying.
The accident came just 11 days after Jota married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso, with whom he had three children.
