Liverpool and Portugal star Diogo Jota was likely speeding when his car veered off a motorway in Spain last week killing him and his brother, Spanish police said on Tuesday.
The shock deaths of Jota, 28, and Andre Silva, 25, on July 3 plunged the football world into mourning, less than two weeks after the striker had got married.
An ongoing investigation is examining “the marks left by one of the vehicle’s wheels… everything points to a possible excessive speed beyond the road’s speed limit”, the Civil Guard said.
“All the tests conducted so far indicate that the driver of the vehicle was Diogo Jota”, it added.

The force had previously said a tyre had probably blown out while the vehicle was overtaking, causing it to crash and burst into flames in the northwestern province of Zamora.
Just hours before the accident, Jota had posted a video of his June 22 wedding to partner Rute Cardoso, with whom he had three children.
The deaths sparked an outpouring of grief, particularly in the brothers ‘ native Portugal and at Jota’s Premier League club Liverpool.
Political leaders as well as star players from Portugal and Liverpool joined family and friends at the funeral on Saturday in the Porto suburb of Gondomar.

Following spells at Atletico Madrid, Porto and Wolverhampton Wanderers, Jota became a fan favourite at Liverpool after joining the Premier League giants in 2020.
He netted 65 times for the Reds in five seasons, lifting the League Cup and FA Cup in 2021/22 and helping them win a record-equalling 20th English league title last season.
The striker also earned 49 caps for Portugal and was part of the team that won this year’s UEFA Nations League.
Capital FM host, Jordan North, jumped into the River Thames in December to rescue a Labrador, who had accidentally tumbled in, leaving his owner panic-stricken

Jordan North couldn’t hide his emotion today when he was reunited with the adorable dog he bravely rescued last year. In December, the Capital FM host was having a quiet stroll along the river in West London when he noticed a chocolate-coloured Labrador floundering in the water.
Jumping into action – and the River Thames, Jordan carried the fabulously named Creed Lamar to safety, much to the relief of the dog’s owner, Rodas. Today, the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! star was reunited with the pooch and his owner as he admitted he was “going to cry” when they surprised him in the studio.

Six months after the rescue, Rodas and Creed, were given the chance properly thank Jordan for his “big, selfless act” moment live on Capital Breakfast.
Sian Welby and Chris Stark surprised their colleague with a game of ‘Pet or Partner’ where listeners send in clues and the presenters have to guess whether they’re describing a pet or a partner.
On Tuesday morning one of the clues was: “He likes to jump into the River Thames and be saved by Jordan North.”
Desperately trying to clarify what was said as the line went dead, Jordan was stumped, but then in came Creed and Rodas as the presenter sid: “That’s Creed, I’m going to cry.”
Recalling the eventful night last year in which she almost lost Creed, Rodas said: “Me and my mum actually take Creed out to the park and tire him out, and off the lead we walk through the riverside and we were walking at night and the barrier tends to go lower and we didn’t realise that and I think he saw a duck or something and he just jumped in!
“I was about to jump in myself, but people were telling me about the currents and the waters and obviously my mum was not going to let me do that, so I’m really thankful to Jordan for jumping the gate.”

Jordan explained the Creed, who was still a puppy when Jordan rescued him was “really struggling” in the icy water. He said: “When I climbed in, the current was taking him, you could tell he was struggling, he was really struggling wasn’t he and I tried to grab him and he fell back in, I was like ‘oh no!'”
The radio DJ stepped onto a pontoon on the water, but once he had rescued the dog he got stuck on a beam, which prompted a member of the public to raise the alarm.
Luckily for Jordan, the RNLI crew were out on a training exercise near Hammersmith Bridge, so they arrived at the scene within three minutes. The crew found Jordan sat on a float life with the dog, as people gathered on the riverbank to shine their phone torches at the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star so the RNLI team could locate him in the dark.
Rodas had no idea that it was Jordan who rescued her dog and went straight back to university in Nottingham after the rescue.
Explaining that it was only when the story was published in the Press, she put two and two together, she said: “I didn’t ]realise] at all, it was exam season at the time, and I was just focused in the library 24/7.
