The soccer world remains in shock after the tragic death of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, and since the news broke, tributes to both players have not stopped. This time, at the Club World Cup, we witnessed an emotional moment in which they were remembered.
It was prior to the match between Fluminense and Al Hilal, corresponding to the quarterfinals of the tournament, where we could see how for a minute the Camping World Stadium in Orlando fell silent as a sign of respect and an emotional remembrance of the footballers who lost their lives this week.
The loss of both (Diogo Jota at 28 and André Silva at 25 years old) was a real blow to fans and football in general because they were considered the future of the sport. A clear example of this is the last few months of the Liverpool player, where he won the Premier League and the Nations League with Portugal.
Portuguese players burst into tears during the tribute
During the moment of silence, João Cancelo and Rúben Neves of Al Hilal of were highly affected, shedding a couple of tears and moving everyone present due to the intense moment they were going through.
Both players were also teammates in the national team, where they reached the crown of the mentioned Nations League, which made them have a very close bond filled with good moments.
Neves also has in his background his coincidence with Jota at Wolverhampton, where they became a key piece of the club to experience an exciting period of many triumphs.
