At 14:33 today, July 8, 2025, shocking news shaken the world of sport and beyond: the black box of Diogo Jota’s Lamborghini has finally revealed its last words after the fatal drilling of a tire, and what he said left everyone speechless. The Liverpool striker, tragically disappeared on July 3 with his brother André in an accident on the A-52 in Zamora, Spain, left a message that no one expected, throwing new light on those last distressing moments. The Spanish authorities made the recordings public this afternoon, after days of analysis, and the content has already triggered reactions of disbelief and speculation between the fans and the media.
The accident, which saw Jota’s luxurious car explodes in a fire ball after an alleged puncture during a overtaking, was at the center of an intense investigation. The Guardia Civil had initially attributed the cause to the loss of control of the vehicle due to the tire failure, with the subsequent fire that made it impossible for immediate recognition of the bodies. However, the black box, recovered among the charred remains, provided an unexpected detail: the final words of the 28 -year -old Portuguese, recorded a few moments before the impact. Although the exact text has not been disclosed out of respect for the family, sources close to the investigation suggested that Jota may have expressed a thought that challenges the initial hypotheses on the incident, perhaps an appeal or a personal revelation.
Rute Cardoso, Jota’s widow, who lost her husband just three weeks after their wedding celebrated on June 22, was informed of the contents of the black box in private. In a short press release, he asked for respect for the privacy of the family, but did not hide his emotion. “His last words surprised us, but they help us better understand who he was,” he said, suggesting that the message could offer an intimate window on Jota’s mind in the last few moments. The fans, who gathered out of Anfield for a tribute, were amazed, with many who wonder if his words can change the official narrative of the accident.
The authorities have confirmed that the analysis of the black box is still in progress, but the anticipation for the complete content has already fueled online theories. Some hypothesize that Jota may have mentioned an unaware mechanical problem, while others believe that his words can suggest a desperate gesture or emotional farewell. The Guardia Civil promised to issue a detailed report within the next few days, but for now it has maintained a close reserve, limiting itself to confirming that audio recordings are authentic. The fact that Jota, known for his combative spirit and his 65 goals with Liverpool, has left such an unexpected message added a further layer of mystery to the tragedy.
Liverpool FC expressed its support for the family, underlining that the club is collaborating with the authorities to shed light on the incident. Arne Slot, Reds coach, defined the revelation “a heartbreaking but important moment in truth,” reflecting the feeling of a team still in mourning. Social media have exploded with reactions, from messages of condolence – “rest in peace, Diogo, your words touch our hearts” – to wild speculation on what may have said. The Portuguese football community, in particular, met to honor Jota’s memory, with its funeral on 5 July in Gondomar who saw a massive participation.
The images of the accident, widespread in the following days, show the violence of the explosion, but the black box now offers a human perspective that no one had foreseen. Experts are examining if Jota’s words can indicate an attempt to communicate a critical problem or simply a last personal thought. For the family, this could be a way to find closures, while for fans it represents a final chapter in the life of a football hero. While the investigation continues, the world waits with the breath suspended of discovering the entire truth behind the latter, surprising words, which promise to leave an indelible mark in the memory of Diogo Jota.
