Spain defeated Portugal 5-0 as the world champions made an impressive start to Euro 2025, in what was a highly emotional occasion for the Portuguese team following the death of men’s international and Liverpool forward Diogo Jota.
Jota was killed in a car crash with his brother Andre Silva in the early hours of Thursday morning, with the football world and beyond in mourning. A poignant moment’s silence was held before kick-off while players from both teams wore black armbands and the Portugal fans chanted Jota’s name in appreciation.
