Mbappé pays tribute to late Jota after World Cup goal
French star Kylian Mbappé paid tribute to the recently deceased Portuguese player Diogo Jota after scoring a stunning goal in the Club World Cup on Saturday night.
Mbappé scored his first goal of the Club World Cup with a stunning scissor kick against Borussia Dortmund, helping his team RealMadrid to a 3-2 victory and advance to the semi-finals.
After the goal, Mbappé addressed the broadcast camera and made the number 20 sign with his hands, before saluting Jota, who wore the number 20 shirt for his English club Liverpool.
The news of the death of Jota, 28, shocked the football world and beyond, with messages of condolences pouring in from world leaders and football stars around the world.
According to Spanish police, Guetta and his brother were on their way to a port to cross the sea to Britain when their Lamborghini veered off the road and caught fire after midnight. Police believe a tire blowout was the cause of the tragic accident.
