Jürgen Klopp, who brought him to the Reds in 2020, said he was "shattered to hear the news of Diogo and his brother André's death. Diogo was not just a fantastic player, but also a friend, as well as a loving husband and father. We will miss you so much!"

On social media, Cristiano Ronaldo also paid tribute to his national team teammate, and to the latter's younger brother, André, who also died in the accident.

"It makes no sense. We were just together in the national team, and then you got married. To your family, to your wife and your children, I send my condolences and wish them all the strength in the world. I know you will always be with them. Rest in peace, Diogo and André. We will all miss you."
