Rafaela and Fábio in front of the church where the funeral was held

Fábio and Rafaela have travelled from the nearby town Lordelo to pay their respects to Diogo Jota and André Silva today.

Avid football fans – Rafaela is a Porto FC fan and Fábio a supporter of local club Paços, where Jota started his professional career.

Wearing Jota’s shirt, Fábio says it was important to him to be here “for Jota’s final day”.

Both say it was also important to the local community that international players and people from across football came.

They watched the ceremony from outside the church, like hundreds of other fans – which Fábio says was hard. Nodding, Rafaela agrees but says it was also beautiful.

“This is an example that you need to live life to the max,” Rafaela says, “because you never know when will be your last day.”

“Say everything you want to say, and need to say – tomorrow could be too late,” Fábio adds.
