CR7 Skips the Funeral Rollercoaster…
In a twist worthy of a football soap opera, Cristiano Ronaldo has simultaneously managed to be both absent and present at the funeral of his former teammates Diogo Jota and Andre Silva. The magnetic megastar decided that strutting into Gondomar, Portugal, would have been like dropping an octopus into a tea party — a bit too eye-catching. Instead, he chose the ever-mystical “I’m always there in spirit” tactic.
Ronaldo reportedly whispered in the ears of Jota’s parents and wife, Rute, through the winds of social media and assured them he’d stick around like an over-loyal fan to his beloved clubs. Our man CR7 penned a heartfelt message finer than any golden boot, telling them he sends more comfort than your fluffiest pillow.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s very own chessboard warriors, including Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson, marched down the pitch of life, armed with flowers and a fellowship of Reds. They were accompanied by Liverpool’s knights of the realm who pay their respects to the dynamic duo that once danced on the grass. The Portuguese football family, meanwhile, saluted Jota, the jester with contagious joy, and lamented losing two champions. Even the president and prime minister attended, proving that love for the football family is as hard to block as a Liverpool striker in the penalty box!
