Diogo Jota Remembered On World Stage: Jimenez’s Tribute & Mahomes’ Message Melt The Internet
During the Gold Cup final against the US, Mexico’s Raul Jimenez scored a vital equalizer, but it was his emotional tribute that stole the night. After the goal, Jimenez held up a Mexico jersey with “Jota 20” on the back, honoring his late friend Diogo Jota, who tragically died in a car crash alongside his brother André just days earlier. He also recreated Jota’s iconic “video game controller” celebration, a quiet, powerful nod to their years together at Wolves. Speaking after the match, Jimenez said, “This one was for Diogo… we lived a lot together.” What could’ve been just another final turned into a heartfelt moment of brotherhood and remembrance on football’s biggest stage.
