Cristiano Ronaldo has now reacted after hearing about the death of Diogo Jota.

The Portugal international shared a pitch with the ex-Liverpool star on 32 occasions for the Portuguese National Team, even winning the UEFA Nations League together as recently as June.

Understandably, Cristiano Ronaldo has been left in shock by the news about Diogo Jota – in addition to his former club Wolves and every other Premier League outfit.

What Cristiano Ronaldo posted about Diogo Jota

The Al-Nassr No.7 wrote on X (previously known as Twitter): “It doesn’t make sense. Just now we were together in the National Team, just now you had gotten married. To your family, your wife, and your children, I send my condolences and wish them all the strength in the world. I know you will always be with them. Rest in Peace, Diogo and Andre. We will all miss you.”

Ronaldo and Jota – who Liverpool have issued a statement on – combined for seven goals in their 32 games together for Portugal, also winning the UEFA Nations League in 2019.

Wolves react to death of Diogo Jota

Jota, who Jurgen Klopp once called a “perfect” signing, made 131 appearances for Wolves – scoring 44 goals and providing 19 assists – before his £41m move to Liverpool in September 2020.

The man born in Porto left a lasting impression on those at Molineux, with Wolves writing on X: “We are heartbroken. Diogo was adored by our fans, loved by his teammates and cherished by everyone who worked with him during his time at Wolves. The memories he created will never be forgotten.

“Our hearts go out to the family, friends and loved ones of Diogo and his brother, Andre. You will be truly missed, and always remembered.”
