The football world was shaken by the tragic death of **Diogo Jota**, and his funeral held in Gondomar drew a large number of attendees including teammates, officials, and **Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa**. However, one notable absence has stirred discussion online: **Cristiano Ronaldo**.
While several viral videos have circulated on social media claiming to show **Ronaldo** at the service, no reliable source has confirmed his attendance. Neither the Portuguese media nor official outlets have listed **Ronaldo** among those present at the funeral or memorial events.
**Ronaldo** and **Jota** had previously shared time on the Portuguese national team, making his absence particularly significant in the eyes of fans. Some speculate he may have chosen to attend privately or was unable to be present due to personal or professional commitments.
As of now, no official statement has been made by **Ronaldo’s** representatives or family. Fans and the public continue to await confirmation or clarification, though it remains possible that the football icon chose to grieve in private.
Whether absent or present behind the scenes, **Ronaldo’s** relationship with **Jota** and his contributions to Portuguese football remain undisputed. The focus now turns to honoring **Jota’s** memory and supporting those he leaves behind.
