Cristiano Ronaldo is facing a wave of backlash online after failing to attend the funeral of his former national teammate Diogo Jota and Jota’s brother André Silva, who tragically died in a car accident earlier this week.
”‘No Respect!’ – Fans Attack Ronaldo in Comments After Skipping Jota’s Funeral!”

While several football stars — including Bruno Fernandes, Virgil van Dijk, and Rúben Neves — made the effort to attend the emotional ceremony in Portugal, Ronaldo’s absence has sparked outrage among fans.
His latest Instagram post has been flooded with angry comments, with fans questioning his loyalty, respect, and role as captain of the Portuguese national team.
“Where are you, Cristiano? Being the captain of the national team, how could you miss this? No vacation is worth more than this.”
“You lost the most important match today — the game of life.”
Some even went as far as saying he no longer deserves the captain’s armband, calling his absence a sign of selfishness and ego.
