Cristiano Ronaldo expressed profound grief over the tragic deaths of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva in a car crash in Spain. Jota, a notable Portugal international with 49 caps, had celebrated recent success with the national team. Ronaldo extended his condolences to Jota's family, emphasizing their enduring connection and expressing sorrow over the loss. UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin reflected on the juxtaposition of past joy during the Nations League final and the current tragedy, marking a poignant moment in memory of Jota.
"It doesn't make sense. Just now we were together in the National Team, just now you had gotten married. To your family, your wife, and your children, I send my condolences and wish them all the strength in the world. I know you will always be with them. Rest in Peace, Diogo and Andre. We will all miss you."
"Just three weeks ago, I had the honour of presenting Diogo Jota with a medal after the UEFA Nations League final - a moment of joy, pride, and celebration that will now forever be burned in memory."
