STORYLINE:
Family and friends of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother gathered at a chapel where their bodies were brought for a wake on Friday, a day after the Portuguese soccer players were killed in a car crash.
Some hugged and wept before entering the Capela da Ressurreição São Cosme.
The brothers’ parents attended, as well as Jota’s agent, Jorge Mendes.
Mourners left flowers and candles next to a tree outside the chapel where visitation was held.
Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa also visited to pay his respects.
The chapel sits next to the Igreja Matriz de Gondomar church where the funeral for the siblings is planned for Saturday.
The death of Portugal and Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, and his brother, prompted an outpouring of grief from fans, players and officials across both women’s and men’s soccer.
