Diogo Jota Biography Reveals Wife’s Final Message Before Fatal 2025 Crash

The authorized book draws on family testimony to share his wife's final WhatsApp.

Overview

  • Media excerpts from an authorized biography due April 9 revealed on Friday the final WhatsApp Rute Cardoso sent to the Liverpool forward.
  • The message asked him to call during a break so she could show a professional video of their wedding held 11 days before the crash.
  • Cardoso describes calling him and the hotel without success before learning both men had died, then telling his parents, as father Joaquim recalls.
  • Investigators have said Jota was driving a rented Lamborghini in Spain, where the car left the road, likely due to excessive speed, and caught fire.
