Real Madrid

Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold speaking to Dazn about his former Liverpool team-mate Diogo Jota, who died aged 28 in a car crash on Thursday: "He was a great friend of mine. It's been extremely difficult for me personally and also to everyone who knew him - not just his team-mates, friends or family, but everyone in the world of football. It's been very emotional and heart-warming to see the footballing world united and come together to show their love and support for him and his family and his brother as well.

"Although it's been difficult, it's also been a nice gesture from everyone. People united and showing love and support for what must be a mind-blowingly hard time for his family. I've been around him, his brother, his family, his amazing wife, his amazing parents and his amazing children. It's truly, truly heart-breaking to wake up to news like that. It's something you never expect.

"He was a very close friend, someone who lit up the room when he was in it. I shared the dressing room with him for five years. Amazing memories on and off the pitch. It goes without saying he will never be forgotten by anyone. He will live long in all our memories for the amazing man and the player he was."
