A tragic accident claims the lives of Guta and his brother. Liverpool striker Diogo Jota and his brother Andre died in a horrific car accident in Spain, with local police confirming their deaths at the scene. The player's passing shocked the Portuguese and international sports community.

Several Portugal players were quick to attend the funeral in person, including João Cancelo and Ruben Neves, who had returned immediately from the United States after playing in the Al Hilal vs. Fluminense match in the Club World Cup.

Amid questions surrounding Ronaldo's absence, Portuguese newspaper A Bola revealed that the global star directly contacted Jota's parents and his wife, Ruth, and agreed that he would not attend the funeral to avoid turning the event into a public spectacle that could disrupt the peaceful mourning the family had hoped for.

Invisible support...and constant moral presence Ronaldo confirmed, according to the newspaper, that he stands with the family heart and soul, and that his decision to be absent was based on respect for their feelings at a moment of pain that could not bear the spotlight or crowds. A Bola explained that the media presence associated with Ronaldo's name would have altered the privacy of the occasion.

A long relationship between the two stars Ronaldo's relationship with Liverpool striker Diogo Jota spanned 32 international appearances, the last of which came in last month's UEFA Nations League final against Spain, making Jota's passing a personal tragedy for the national team captain as well.
