An incredibly heartfelt scene unfolded today as Rute Cardoso, the 29-year-old wife of the late Portugal and Liverpool midfielder Diogo Jota, reached out to Scotland captain and former Liverpool teammate Andy Robertson prior to the World Cup kickoff.
In a personal letter, Cardoso expressed her gratitude to Robertson for his friendship and support, as well as for keeping Diogo’s memory alive. This gesture highlights the strong bonds forged during their time at Liverpool.
Robertson, who previously admitted that Jota’s passing had a profound impact on him, has pledged to dedicate his World Cup campaign to the late midfielder. The two players shared a close friendship over five years of playing together.
