AC Milan star Rafael Leao has described the late Diego Jota as a loyal teammate who is always willing to help everyone.
The Liverpool forward tragically lost his life over the summer, leaving those close to him devastated by the shocking news.
Jota died while driving through Zamora, Spain, in his Lamborghini when a flat tire suddenly burst and sent the car veering off the road. His brother also passed away in the incident.

The AC Milan star struggled to hold back his feelings as he opened up on what Jota meant to the squad, both on and off the field in an interview with CBS.
“Everyone cared about him. Even if sometimes he was in his corner talking with his wife or kids. But he was a good team-mate and always wanted to help everyone, even me sometimes.
“Sometimes I used to ask him for a few things, and he would also ask me for tickets for his family. To come to AC Milan to watch some games.
“Every game we (the Portuguese national team) think about him. Always after a game, he was there celebrating and if he could score a goal. And every game we think about him.”
