Cristiano Ronaldo surprises the Portuguese national team and Jota's family with a personalized gift after their Nations League victory

Cristiano Ronaldo and Diogo Jota were part of the squad that beat Spain in the Nations League final on June 8, which was decided on penalties after a 2-2 draw and ended 5-3.

However, a month later, on July 3, the death of Jota after a tragic car accident in which his brother, André Silva, also lost his life, shocked the soccer world . Almost five months after his title at the Allianz Arena in Munich and Jota's death, CR7 made a grand gesture .

Cristiano's luxurious gift to his teammates

The captain of the Portuguese national team gave personalized watches , specially commissioned from the founder of the luxury brand Jacob & Co, Jacob Arabo , to the entire squad that won the 2025 Nations League, including Jota.

The 40-year-old Portuguese player presented this special gift in the first World Cup qualifying match against Armenia. Diogo's watch was received by his family , according to Portuguese television channel SIC Noticias .

" A skeleton dial, bespoke design, and the Portuguese crest - a watch as exceptional as the champions themselves ," describes the luxury brand's official X account. " Limited to 35 pieces, this Epic X captures the spirit of triumph on and off the field ."

The watch has a 44-mm steel case with the Portuguese national team crest at 12 o'clock, the UEFA Nations League trophy on the bridge, and the motto " 2025 Champions ." In addition, the colors of the country's flag are also present with the red mesh and the watch with green, white, and silver details.

Although the value of the watches is unknown , the official Jacob & Co website confirmed that they are unique pieces and that there are only 35 pieces in the world: " 35 players. 35 pieces. One historic win ," they wrote on Instagram.

It is estimated that they could be priced at over thousands of euros, as the materials used to make the watches and their exclusivity increase their cost, but their sentimental value undoubtedly goes beyond that .

Cristiano remembers Diogo with Morgan

In his recent interview with Piers Morgan , the Al-Nassr player recalled the moment he received the tragic news of his teammate's death:

" I didn't believe it when I got the messages. I cried a lot. It was a very difficult moment for everyone-for the country, for his family, for his friends, and for his teammates... It was devastating. A very, very sad piece of news ".

In addition, to say goodbye to his teammate, he shared a black-and-white photo of Diogo on his official Instagram account , showing Jota celebrating in the Portugal jersey: " It doesn't make sense. We were just together in the national team, 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 André. We will all miss you ," wrote Cristiano.

Ronaldo shared great moments with Diogo on the Portuguese national team, playing together in 32 games and combining for seven goals .
