Diogo Jota's wife speaks out publicly with heartbreaking post

The widow of the late professional soccer player Diogo Jota publicly addressed her husband with touching words on Instagram. "One month since our "Not even death can separate us." Forever, your little white girl," Rute Cardoso captioned a series of photos from their wedding. Two pictures show the couple dancing together.

Liverpool coach Arne Slot paid tribute to the deceased with emotional words before the first friendly match of the new season. "We will always carry him with us, in our hearts, in our thoughts, wherever we go," said the coach of the English football champions in an interview on the club's website.

In the last month of his life, Diogo Jota was "a champion in everything," especially for his family. This thought often brings him comfort, the Dutchman explained.
