(Dan Tri) - C. Ronaldo did not attend Diogo Jota's funeral, even though before that, player number 7 had expressed his gratitude to his unfortunate junior.

However, C. Ronaldo did not attend Diogo Jota's funeral. He only came to pay his respects yesterday but did not appear at the farewell ceremony for his close junior.

Many of Diogo Dalot's teammates, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Virgil van Dijk... participated in the funeral. Even two close friends Joao Cancelo and Ruben Neves flew back to Portugal from the US (having just finished playing the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final match with Al Hilal) to say goodbye to their friend.

According to the Mirror, C. Ronaldo has carefully considered what might happen if he appeared at Diogo Jota's funeral. If he appears, it could attract the attention of many people, cause noise, and affect the farewell ceremony of his teammates.

Meanwhile, Portuguese journalist Antonio Ribeiro Cristovao said: "He is the captain of the Portuguese national team. Many people hope that C.Ronaldo will appear at Diogo Jota's funeral.

If C. Ronaldo does not attend, there must be a reason. He is responsible for this event. He is the captain of the Portuguese team."

In any case, C. Ronaldo's absence from Diogo Jota's funeral has created a lot of controversy. Fans are waiting for an explanation from CR7.
