Diogo Jota's Portugal teammates Ruben Neves and Joao Annalo were overwhelmed by tears when they remembered their old friend on Friday evening.
The duo was clearly moved because Al-Hilal and Fluminense paid a minute of silence to Jota and his brother Andre Silva for their club World Cup collision.
After the tribute, Neves had his face in his hands while Ancanneo dropped on his hips and the tears threw away.
Less than a month ago, Neves and Jota were part of the Portugal side that Spain beat in the Nations League final. The trio was also in the Portugal team that won the Nations League 2018-19.
The football world was immersed in mourning on Thursday when it appeared that Jota, 28 and Silva, 26 had died after the Lamborghini, they drove a road in the north of Spain after a tire blew out.
Hundreds of mourning people gathered on Friday in Gondomar, Portugal, where a wake and a wake were held for the couple in the Sao Cosme Chapel.
Among the crowd were Bernando Silva, Diogo Dalot, Jota Silva, Chief Executive of Liverpool of football Michael Edwards and sports director Richard Hughes, Jota's wife Rute Cardoso and his deeply sad family.
In the meantime, fans and players in Liverpool outside Anfield came to lay flowers and scarves in memory of a recent title -winning hero who had spent five years in the club.
In Orlando, Neves and Annalo were not the only stars that were loaded with emotion for Fluminense US Al-Hilal.
Former Chelsea star Thiago Silva also looked deeply considering when the silence of the minute progressed.
Annalo fought back the tears as an image of Jota and Silva were shown on the screen before they finally let flow.
In recent days, according to all accounts, one of the darkest in the recent memory of football, and one that has crossed the game and brought fans of all flags together.
Jota traveled to Santander to take a ferry back to England prior to the preseason, after he was advised not to fly after pulmonary operation, when the accident took place.
He and Silva drove to the east along an isolated piece of highway, about an hour west of Zamora, when the tragedy struck.
Their Lamborghini came from the road, then rolled and bursting in flames around 12.35, and also ignited the surrounding vegetation. The emergency services were called, but the brothers could not be saved. The police say they do not yet know who was driving.
The Spanish government official Ángel Blanco said the brothers and sisters died on the spot.
Doctors reportedly advised the Liverpool star not to catch an airplane after a recent operation, so he received a boat instead. A Brittany Ferries service from Santander for Plymouth left on Thursday at 4 p.m. and arrived in Devon on Friday at 11.15 am.
Only two weeks ago he married his girlfriend and mother of their three children Rute Cardoso in Porto, his hometown.
She was present on Friday in the chapel in Gondomar, a city with a view of Porto, where they met and started dating as teenagers.
It is believed that the bodies of Diogo and Andre Silva are in the rest chapel, which is behind the main church.
Diogo and Andre's mother Isabel, Father Joaquim and their grandfather were emotional when arriving in the chapel. Joaquim embraced different people and was supported by his brother and later put a hand on mourning people when he left with his wife. They returned about an hour later.
Portugal's Premier Luis Montenegro also attended the Wake together with Diogo's agent Jorge Mendes. The president of Portugal, Marcelo de Sousa, came later.
The mood outside of Sao Cosme Chapel was today one of respectful silence and contemplation. There was a large presence of the police and officers taped roads and installed barriers near the church. Even on the street behind, in the restaurants and cafés of the Porto -Buitenwijk, the mood was subdued and quiet.
A funeral will take place on Saturday at 10 a.m. in Igrega Matriz de Gondomar.
