Great football names participate in the funeral of Diogo Jota. Cristiano Ronaldo, the great absentee
Diogo Jota, the footballer who died on Thursday with his brother in a car accident, is buried today in Gondomar, his hometown. The small town near Porto was stormed by dozens of footballers and football people, who wanted to say goodbye to Liverpool's player.

The entire team of “Cormorants” was presented at the funerals, Liverpool's players coming from the holiday to mourn their former colleague. As well as those in the national of Portugal, with whom Diogo Jota had won a month ago.
However, so far, Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of the representative of the Lusitanians, who issued an emotional statement at the terrible news, but did not appear at the funeral, has not been observed. The Portuguese press speculates that Ronaldo wanted to appear, but had to be elsewhere because of contractual obligations.

However, the Lusitanians hope that he appears, given that he is the leader of the national team and the country's symbol at international level.
