Diogo Jota's tragic death, the last message his partner sent to the

The wife of the late footballer Diogo Jota has revealed the last message she sent him shortly before his fatal accident, according to a new biography of the football star.

Rute Cardoso had wanted to send Jota their wedding video, not knowing that he had just had an accident with his rented Lamborghini Huracan on a highway in Spain.

The 28-year-old footballer, who played for Liverpool, lost his life in July last year.

According to Spanish police, the accident was mainly due to speed. Diogo was travelling with his brother, Andre Silva, to Santander to catch a ferry to the UK, after being advised not to fly due to lung surgery.

Diogo Jota's official biography, written by former footballer Jose Manuel Delgado, is titled "Nunca Mais e Muito Tempo" ("Never Again Is a Long Time") and will be published on April 9 in Portugal.

The publishers describe the book as a "highly emotional and respectful work, which pays homage to Jota's life and legacy, not only as an elite footballer, but also as a person."

In an interview with Portuguese television, presenter Isabel Figueira said:

"What shocked me the most was the way Rute recounts the last messages she sends to Jota, but which he never received. She says she had just received the wedding video and writes: 'My love, when you stop, call me, because I have something to tell you.' It was this special video of their wedding."
