Portugal is mourning the loss of national team footballer Diogo Jota. In his memory, an emotional video was shared on the national team’s official Instagram account.
The video includes clips of Diogo Jota in action for Portugal, with his close friend and teammate Rúben Neves reading a touching message. The post features a heartfelt caption: “Nothing can break us apart. For you, Diogo Jota 🤍.”
Diogo Jota sadly passed away in a car accident in early July in Spain while returning to Liverpool for preseason training. His brother, André Silva, who was with him, also tragically died in the crash.
Rúben Neves paid tribute to Jota by getting a tattoo on his leg that shows the two of them embracing, along with the words “Diogo J 21.” Neves will now wear the number 21 jersey for the national team, a number that Jota previously wore.
