It will no longer come out that Cristiano Ronaldo is not sad about Diogo Jota's death.

The Portuguese Football Association said on its official website on the 2nd (Korea time) that September 2, 2025 will be forever remembered as the day Portugal paid eternal respect to the recently deceased national team Jota and Jorge Costa. Portuguese President Marcelo Hebelu de Sosa commended Jota and Giorz, delivering the insignia of the Order of Merit to their immediate family members.

On this day, the Portuguese Football Association held a memorial service for Jota and Portuguese legend Costa. High-ranking officials, including the Portuguese president and prime minister, the Portuguese national team players and many who remember Jota attended.

The president of the Portuguese Football Association, Eduardo Proensa, emphasized that "a particularly meaningful moment for the families of Jota and Costa" are those like Jota and Costa who loved football, who loved the country, who protected the national flag with courage and dedication, who spread the values we must uphold at home and abroad, who contributed to our existence today in their own times and in their own ways. I guarantee everyone in this room, especially their families. We will never let Diogo and Jorge be forgotten."




Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montegrou said "Here's the best player in the world, the best player of all time, with us. Ronaldo became, and still is, the best player in the world. The reason is that there were colleagues of the same value next to him"I paid tribute to Jota by referring to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo, who did not attend Jota's funeral last time, also attended the memorial and shared the last of his colleagues. At the time, Ronaldo, despite being Portugal's captain, was heavily criticized for not attending his colleague's funeral.

With most of Portugal's national team colleagues in attendance, criticism intensified with reports that the captain did not come and even Ronaldo was enjoying a vacation at the resort. But that was not the case.

Ronaldo is known to be traumatized by the fact that all eyes are on him during his father's funeral in the past. Ronaldo did not attend Jota's funeral because he thought he would ruin the funeral as everyone's attention was focused on him. Instead, Ronaldo is believed to have contacted Jota's wife and family directly to help.




Ronaldo did not need further controversy as he appeared at the memorial service to attend with Portugal's national team players.
