Soccer stars Diogo Jota and André Silva were laid to rest today in their native Portugal following a celebratory funeral at the Estádio da Luz. The pair, who died in a car crash on Sunday, were honoured with a moment of silence at all professional soccer matches in the country, as well as at UEFA Champions League matches.

The ceremony was attended by several notable soccer players and coaches, as well as thousands of fans who gathered at the stadium to pay their respects. The players' families also attended the funeral, with many speaking about their loss during the event.

Jota and Silva were influential players in the Portuguese national team and will be greatly missed on the field. The pair were also immensely popular off the field, known for their charity work and community involvement.

The funeral was a true celebration of the players' lives and the immense impact they had on the sport and the country.
