Luis Montenegro, the Prime Minister of Portugal, attended the wake. So did Jorge Mendes, the super agent who represented Jota, and former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas, as well as Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot.

Family and friends of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother are gathering at a chapel where their bodies have been brought for a wake.

The Liverpool squad are set to attend Diogo Jota’s funeral in Portugal on Saturday, with thousands of mourners expected to pay their respects.
