View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cristiano Ronaldo (@cristiano) The star instead took to social media to share a touching tribute to the late sportsman. He wrote: 'It doesn't make sense. We were just together in the national team, and you had just gotten married. 'To your family, your wife and your children, I send my condolences and wish them all the strength in the world. I know you will always be with them. Rest in peace, Diogo and Andre. We will all miss you.' Diogo just married his long term partner Rute Cardoso, with whom he shared three children, 10 days before the tragedy — with her arriving at the church early on Friday morning.
