Ronaldo, Georgina, and a Glowing Celebration as Globe Soccer Honors Diogo Jota

Globe Soccer Awards: Ronaldo, Georgina, and a heartfelt tribute to Diogo Jota

The Don received a warm reception.

Organizers of the Globe Soccer Awards honored the memory of the late Diogo Jota, a Liverpool icon, during tonight's ceremony in the United Arab Emirates.

Jota's family accepted the Globe Soccer Special Award amid applause from attendees at the ceremony.

Cameras captured visible sadness among Jota's family and attendees, including Cristiano Ronaldo, the star of Al Nassr, and Jota's Portugal teammate.

Ronaldo attended with his partner Georgina Rodriguez, greeted warmly by the crowd.

In a moving moment, Pedro Proença, president of the Portuguese Football Federation, dedicated the Best National Team award to the spirit of the late Diogo Jota, the Liverpool great who died earlier this year in a tragic accident alongside his brother André Silva.

Punchline: The trophy party was so lively that even the quiet corners started singing.

Punchline 2: If jokes counted as goals, this night would have Ronaldo topping the charts for assists to laughter everywhere.
