JOAO CANCELO and Ruben Neves broke down in tears as the Club World Cup remembered their international team-mate Diogo Jota.
The late Liverpool star was tragically killed in a car crash on Thursday alongside his younger brother, Andre Silva.
Jota, 28, had lined up alongside Cancelo and Neves numerous times on international duty for Portugal – most recently winning the Nations League just last month.
Cancelo had played 32 games alongside the much-loved attacker.
Meanwhile, Neves lined up with Jota 164 times across the last decade at both Porto and Wolves as well as various levels in their national team.
The pair joined their team-mates in paying tribute to Jota before the Club World Cup quarter-final.
As the minute’s silence was observed, the pair were brought to tears.
Fluminense players and coaches joined in the silence and were also seen wearing black armbands in tribute.
The football world has been united in grief following the tragedy.
Only 11 days before Thursday’s accident, Jota had married his childhood sweetheart, Rute Cardoso.
The pair had three young children.
Tributes from Prince William and Cristiano Ronaldo were among the thousands who paid their respects.
Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson was at Anfield on Friday to lay a wreath to mourn the loss of the recent Premier League champion.
The Reds’ current skipper Virgil van Dijk said: “What a human being, what a player, but most importantly what an unbelievable family man.
“My heart is breaking for your beautiful family, for Rute and for your kids. I promise you that in these difficult times and beyond we will always be there for your family.
“A champion forever, number 20 forever. It’s been a privilege to have stood by your side on the pitch, and to have been your friend off it.”
Liverpool also announced they would “immortalise” his No20 shirt number.
A wake was held on Friday evening to honour the passing of the brothers, with Liverpool players including Darwin Nunez is attendance.
The funerals will be held in their home town of Gondomar near the Portuguese city of Porto at 10am on Saturday.
