STORYLINE:
Players from the Liverpool and Portugal football teams joined family and friends for the funeral of their teammate Diogo Jota and his brother.

The service was held in the Portuguese town of Gondomar two days after they died in a car crash in Spain.

Liverpool captain Virgil Van Dijk and several teammates attended, as did Portugal coach Roberto Martínez and Manchester City players Bernardo Silva and Rúben Dias.

Jota and brother André Silva were found dead near Zamora in northwestern Spain early Thursday after the Lamborghini they were driving crashed on an isolated stretch of highway just after midnight.
