Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo has finally addressed the criticism regarding his absence from the funeral of his late Portugal international teammate, Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, who tragically died in a car crash alongside his brother André Silva in July 2025.
In a candid interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo explained his decision, stating he was at peace with it and gave two key, personal reasons for not attending the funeral:
1. A Personal Vow After His Father's Death
2. Avoiding a "Circus" and Shifting the Focus
Ronaldo emphasized that he had supported the family privately and later participated in a memorial ceremony organized by the Portuguese Football Federation. He concluded that he doesn't "need to be in the cameras for the people to see what I do; I do [it] behind the scenes."
