'Rest In Peace'- Jurgen Klopp Joins Soccer World In Mourning Diogo Jota's Tragic Demise

Cristiano Ronaldo shared his thoughts

Jota was the only Portuguese player in Liverpool’s current squad, but language was never a barrier. Before joining the Reds, he had spent three years at Wolverhampton, where he quickly adapted to English football and life in the Premier League.

He was coming off one of the most successful seasons of his career — lifting the Premier League title for the second time with Liverpool, winning the UEFA Nations League with Portugal, and marrying his longtime partner, Rute.

Cristiano Ronaldo took to social media to express his heartbreak, saying he couldn’t believe this was happening — especially after the joyful and successful moments they had recently shared.

"It doesn't make sense. We were just together in the national team, and you had just gotten married. To your family, your wife and your children, I send my condolences and wish them all the strength in the world. I know you will always be with them. Rest in peace, Diogo and André. We will all miss you."

Liverpool players shared they condolences

As the tragic news of Diogo Jota’s death — along with his brother’s — broke, tributes poured in from across the football world. Legends, current and former teammates, rivals, and Premier League clubs all mourned the loss of the talented striker.

Jota’s Liverpool teammates began sharing heartfelt messages, remembering not only the player, but the person he was. Among them, Darwin Núñez posted an emotional tribute to his friend, expressing his deep sorrow and honoring the bond they shared on and off the pitch.

"There are no words of comfort for such pain. I will always remember you with your smile, as a good teammate on and off the field. I send all my strength to his family, from where I am sure he will always be with you, especially his wife and three children."

Former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher also shared his condolences on social media, joining the countless voices paying tribute to Diogo Jota.

"Devastating news about Diogo Jota & his brother Andre this morning. Thoughts are with every one of their family & friends, especially his wife Rute & their three lovely kids"

As the messages continues to come through, many Premier League clubs have also shared their condolences, such as Tottenham, Chelsea, Wolverhampton, Brighton - everybody is sharing a kind message to Diogo Jota's family.
