These days, Portugal and the football world, in general, has been mourning the death of Diogo Jota and his brother. In Gondomar, the funeral took place to say goodbye to both of them, and countless teammates and friends went there, apart from the family, of course. Almost the entire Liverpool team attended to pay tribute to the Portuguese, and we say almost everyone because one person was missing, Luis Diaz
The Colombian, who was a great friend of Diogo, was in Colombia fulfilling some agreements with sponsors and influencers. The ‘Guajiro’ player has been heavily criticised for the contrast between the sadness of his teammates and his immense joy, so much so that he has even been seen dancing while in Portugal they were crying.
The repercussions have been so strong that even in his own country he is being criticised. It should be remembered that Diogo Jota had been one of the main people who helped ‘Lucho’ when he arrived at Liverpool, according to Luis himself.

Rest in peace, Diogo and Andre
