Rúben Neves and João Cancelo attended the funeral of Diogo Jota after a heart-wrenching quarterfinal match against Fluminense. Neves served as a pallbearer for Jota, who tragically died in a car accident with his brother André Silva. The match featured a minute's silence in their memory, with tributes from notable football figures and officials. Neves shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, emphasizing their strong bond of friendship and familial connection, vowing to keep Jota's memory alive in his life and career.
"Wherever you are, I know you're going to read this, we've never been one for this sort of thing and maybe now I'll regret it a little, but you know what you mean to me just as much as I know what I am to you."
"More than a friendship, we're family, and we're not going to stop being family just because you've decided to sign a contract a little further away from us!"
"When I go to the national team, you'll still be by my side at the dinner table, on the bus, on the plane... you'll always be there with me, as usual."
"As of today, you'll be on the pitch with me, and we'll follow our path together, on the stage where we met."
