Emotional moments at the FIFA Club World Cup

Cancelo, Neves collapse on the eve of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ quarter-finals.

Ruben Neves, Joao Cancelo and Al Hilal played against Fluminense in the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-finals on the morning of July 5. Before the match, both teams observed a minute of silence to remember Diogo Jota, the Liverpool and Portugal 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 service was held for Jota, with manager Andre Villas-Boas arriving early to pay his respects to the Liverpool legend.

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. Previously, Liverpool announced that they would retire the number 20 shirt to honor the contributions of the player born in 1996.
