He didn't want the burial to focus on him yet somehow they have focused on him. Crazy world we live in.

Just pray the living continue living when you die and no one bothers to bury your body
Before won't the living continue living. The only thing a dead person is owed is to open the ground and put him or her there peacefully. Nothing more nothing less and life goes on

He is supposed to attend weather the media will be about him or not is irrelevant is just a one day affair...I consider this a low from him even though am a fan we are talking about death here . It wont take him anything to pay his fellow compatriot one last respect.

Ronaldo this is an all time low from you reason why people love messi he is down to earth and more humble.
My take is same as yours. He had no excuse missing the burial program. He is the captain of the team for crying out loud.

Wen I quoted it here few days ago, some mad fans, saying rubbish.

Still don't know why some people idolise such character.

...... always thinking that world revolves around him.
No, he doesn't think the world revolves around him.
The world just won't leave him alone.
It's the world against him and everything he does.
They will always find something negative to say/write about him.

This is different. His dad didn't die in a car crash, burnt to ashes with his blood brother. That accident was too tragic and no one was thinking about him or gives a flying F about him at that moment. Did you see any paparazzi at the burial? Didn't some football stars also attend?
He didn't cause the crash either and he wasn't happy about it obviously

You didn't see paparazzi because he didn't turn up

How we all react and manage our emotions and trauma differs?

CR7 does not even owe you or anyone any explanation for not attending a funeral.

Respect his decisions and privacy.
I guess you didn't read my post well to get take on the issue. I'm also for him if you read well.

Are you still owing them

You're right, the CR7 I know will break down in tears if attends that burial and that will give the media more reason to focus on him

Na by force?
Attending is optional, sincerely but media must talk sha
Not by force, but a responsibility as captain. There are certain things we do in life that isn't mandatory but because of our responsibility we just have to be available. To be a captain of a national team is not for show, it's for guidance, support, etc.

See them. The "I own nobody anything" camp.

CR7 is the national team captain for goodness sakes. That's too insensitive. It would cost him literally nothing flying from and back to his vacation for the one day event. Just pay the last respect and show solidarity with other team members.

The citizens of Portugal are right to condemn him.

The narcissist even said he doesn't want it to be about him. What a silly excuse. There were many stars at the burial from Liverpool, nobody gave a f about them. Two blood brothers, two footballers from your f country died just like that, burnt to ashes and you made the burial all about you. Damn!
Like Ronaldo said, he will be traumatized if he attends.
My closest friend died in a car crash, I avoided seeing his mangled body because it would be traumatizing for me to take off from my mind.
Ronaldo may later go to the graveyard to do a private paying of respect and laying of wreaths out of the spotlight.
I fully understand his situation, he has been unable to get his father's burial off his head, people are built differently. His words in reaction to Jota's death "this doesn't make sense" says it all that he is devastated and looking for a way out without having mental breakdown

CR7 is in the eye of the storm once again!


The undeniable fact is that "who die, e own don finish" no matter the crocodile tears of attendees in a funeral.


He (CR7) gave reasons for his inability to attend the burial ceremony but, his critics would have none of that.


However, going on a cruise while many are still mourning portrays him as uncaring, indifferent and callous, especially given the fact that the deceased was a member of the Portuguese national team of which CR7 is the captain.


This said, CR7 has decided to move on knowing that no matter how he "pretends" to mourn Diego's death, nothing can bring him back to life.



Again, death na turn by turn.



All mortals have a date with death

Honestly believe me if you will. The only thing a dead person is owed is what I stated above. Any other thing na jara.
Will the prayers bring he or she back to life. Will the prayers make God accept his or her soul if he or she is a bad person. Think am yourself nah

Do you know he was already on holiday on the yacht before Jota died. Leave media alone they're just looking for traffic.

Thank you for saying it as it is. Apart from traumatized, Ronaldo I know will break down in tears cus he can't handle his emotions and that will give the media food for writing about him and focusing on him
Re: Ronaldo Misses Diogo Jota's Burial, Holidays On A Yacht In Mallorca by ddippset(m): 9:49am On Jul 08, 2025
His reasons for not attending the funeral are quite cogent and reasonable.

But he shouldn't have been chilling in a yacht this period.

He should be sober at a private residence in honour of Jota.

As a captain you are not just the leader of your team in the field, you are responsible for every team players wellbeing too. Moral support and guidance is key attribute of any leader. Leaders must not be friends/pals to every member of his team but when support his needed by a team member or his family as in this case an unbiased support is necessary. Ronaldo is supposed to lead other football stars in this gathering, it is called support not show off.

As a leader there are responsibilities you must carry out and not deligate. If he can't play the role of a captain outside the pitch, then he isn't worth being called one

Let the press write whatever they like. The point is he should play his part. For this matter, he has no excuse.

Ronaldo has given his reason saying that he didn't want a repeat of the kind of media frenzy that happened during his own father's funeral. Paparazzi were falling over themselves trying to get shots of him making mourners uncomfortable. Jota's Liverpool teammate also missed the funeral and uploaded a video of himself dancing with friends on Instagram that very day, what was his excuse?
How you people think is hilarious

Diaz is he a Portuguese, or of captain of Portuguese national team

Which media paparazzi is he running from, it's now he knows he should run from media paparazzi

The tragic death of a national team mate, which he is the captain and he didn't attend the burial because of avoiding media paparazzi

Haba!!

Which kind of person does that only a vain person someone empty inside

No wonder at his age, he's afraid to retire and still looking for lucrative deals even if it's in Somalia

HIS REASONS FOR NOT ATTENDING ARE GENUINE ... CHECK IT OUT NA....WHEN ALL ATTENTIONS ARE DRAWN TO C.RONALDO ONLY... THAT WILL BE A BIG DISTRACTION ON THE FUNERAL PROCESSES.... HE TOOK A WISE AND GOOD DECISION... cool cool cool cool✌️✌️
Rubbish excuse! The family needs him more than this rubbish excuse. The players needs him, he supposed to lead his team there not Van Dirk. We a talking of the death of a team mate here
