Cristiano Ronaldo “cried a lot” when he learned of the untimely deaths of Portugal international team-mate Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, but did not want to cause an unnecessary distraction by attending their funeral.
The football world came together in morning on July 3 when Jota, 28, and his brother Silva, 26, tragically passed away in a car crash in Spain. Ronaldo was one of countless players to honour the two individuals with an emotional message once the news had broken.
