Ronaldo is unable to face the sudden death of a loved one.
At the Portuguese national team, Diogo Jota had a close relationship with Ronaldo. The 28-year-old was always seen alongside Ronaldo and frequently shared positive things about his captain. However, since the bodies of Diogo Jota and his brother were brought back to Portugal, Ronaldo has been completely absent. According to Ultima Hora, Ronaldo is enjoying a summer vacation with his family on the island of Majorca (Spain), completely avoiding the media. This action by Ronaldo immediately drew a wave of criticism. Many renowned European journalists even spoke out, calling it unacceptable behavior from the current number one star of Portuguese football.
Why didn't Ronaldo attend Diogo Jota's funeral?
Explaining Ronaldo's absence, the Portuguese newspaper Record suggested it stemmed from personal reasons. “Everyone expected the Portuguese captain to appear, but ultimately it didn't happen. Anyone close to Ronaldo will understand that this absence stems from deep emotional trauma. In particular, it occurred when his father, Jose Diniz Aveiro, passed away in September 2005. Ronaldo is very emotional and he is especially haunted by and unable to face the sudden death of those he loves,” wrote Vítor Pinto of Record .

Journalist Vítor Pinto added: “Ronaldo preferred to commemorate his loved ones more privately, as this is how he found to cope with the pain. Ronaldo was truly devastated by the loss of a friend, a great teammate in the Portuguese national team. Even more significantly, just a few weeks ago, the two had played together, helping Portugal win the Nations League.”
Ronaldo quietly stood behind, helping the Diogo Jota family.
In addition to the above reason, Record also revealed that Ronaldo has always been the player who has silently supported Diogo Jota's family from behind the scenes.
“Ronaldo immediately expressed his public condolences and offered words of encouragement to Jota’s family. Even if the tragedy is forgotten, he will continue to care for and be close to them, attending to any needs that may arise,” Record emphasized.

Earlier, upon learning of the tragic accident that killed Diogo Jota and André Silva, Ronaldo shared on his personal page: "It's hard to believe. Just recently, we were wearing the same Portugal national team jersey. Just recently, you got married. I want to send my condolences to your family, your wife and children. May they always be strong and resilient in this life. I know you will always be with them. Farewell, Diogo and Andre. We will miss you so much."
