💨 Abstract

Portugal's captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, did not attend the funeral of his teammate Diogo Jota, who died in a car crash. The private funeral was held in Gondomar, with Rute Cardoso, Jota's wife, and their children, plus a Liverpool delegation and Portuguese team members, present. Ronaldo's absence sparked criticism in Portugal. Some journalists suggested he should have attended or explained his absence. Reports indicated Ronaldo feared his presence might disrupt the proceedings.
