The town of Gondomar, Portugal, fell into a deep silence on Saturday.
It wasn’t just mourning a football star — it was saying goodbye to two sons of the soil.
Diogo Jota and his younger brother Andre Silva were laid to rest, days after a tragic car crash that shocked not only Portugal but the entire footballing world.
Jota, only 28, was at the peak of his career.
Her pain was visible.
Several Portugal internationals, including Bruno Fernandes, Joao Cancelo, Renato Veiga, Joao Felix, Jose Fonte, Danilo, and Adrien Silva, were in attendance.
Bernardo Silva was spotted carrying a bouquet as he entered the church, while a delegation from Liverpool also made their way to the venue.
The intimate ceremony, reserved for close friends and family, was led by Bishop Manuel Linda of Porto.
During a heartfelt sermon directed at Jota’s parents, his wife, and their three young children, Bishop Linda remarked that “solidarity in love always triumphs over death.”

While Gondomar said goodbye in person, Liverpool did so from afar.
Thousands of fans visited Anfield.
It wasn’t just football — it was family.
It always has been at Anfield.
Back in Portugal, the Bishop of Porto offered words that stayed with many.
“Seeing the remains of a child must be a great torment,” he said.
