Jota and his brother Andre Silva were killed in the accident in Spain, which took place shortly after midnight local time on Thursday. 

The crash took place in the Spanish province of Zamora. Jota's brother was 26 and also a professional footballer. He played for Portuguese second-tier team Penafiel.

PSG's squad includes four of Jota's Portugal national team-mates: Vitinha, Goncalo Ramos, Joao Neves and Nuno Mendes.

The devastating news comes nearly a month after Jota helped Ronaldo and Portugal to its second Nations League title after victory over Spain in the final on 8 June.
