Emotional moments at the FIFA Club World Cup

Cancelo, Neves collapsed right before the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.

In the early morning of July 5, Ruben Neves, Joao Cancelo and Al Hilal played against Fluminense in the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final. Before the match, both teams observed a minute of silence to remember Diogo Jota, the Liverpool and Portugal national team striker who died in a traffic accident on July 3.

Despite his grief, Ruben Neves could not hold back his tears when images of Jota and his brother Andre Silva appeared on the big screen at Camping World Stadium. On June 22, Neves attended Jota's wedding. Now, the two have no chance to meet.

Cancelo almost collapsed. The former Man City defender still cannot believe that his close teammate on the national team has suddenly passed away.

In his hometown of Gondomar, Portugal, a public memorial was held for Jota. Manager Andre Villas-Boas was there early to pay his respects to the talented and ill-fated Liverpool player.

Former midfielder Joao Moutinho looked sad when he visited Jota and his brother Andre Silva.

Jota Silva (black shirt), who plays for Bournemouth, was also present and brought a bouquet of flowers to commemorate his colleague.

Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa was also present at the memorial service for Jota and his brother in his homeland.

Hundreds of people braved the hot weather to line up to pay their respects to Jota and his brother. Liverpool had previously announced that they would retire the number 20 shirt to pay tribute to the 1996-born player's contributions.
