@dailymail: Portugal marked the first anniversary of Diogo Jota's death with an emotional tribute following its dramatic 2-1 World Cup victory over Croatia. After the final whistle, Cristiano Ronaldo wore Portugal's No. 21 shirt in Jota's honor as his teammates gathered around the jersey, while supporters had earlier applauded a tribute displayed on the stadium's big screen. Before the match, Portugal manager Roberto Martínez said, 'Diogo is our sun and our light... We want to win the World Cup for him.' Jota, who died alongside his brother André Silva in a car crash in Spain on July 3, 2025, was remembered throughout the occasion as Portugal booked its place in the World Cup last 16. 📸 Getty, AFP Images Diogo Jota was a Portuguese professional soccer player who starred for Liverpool F.C. and the Portugal national football team, earning widespread praise for his goal-scoring ability, relentless work rate, and contributions at both club and international level. His life was tragically cut short when he died in a car crash in Spain alongside his brother, André Silva, on July 3, 2025, aged 28. #diogojota #cristianoronaldo #worldcup #portugal
