He lost his life with his brother in a car accident, CR7 reveals the reasons why he was absent from Diogo Zhota's funeral

Former Liverpool and Portuguese striker Diego Zhota died in a car accident in Spain on July 3.

A large number of Zhota's acquaintances attended the funeral, but Portugal captain Ronaldo was not among them, leading fans to wonder why CR7 chose not to attend.

Explaining his decision, Ronaldo told journalist Piers Morgan:

" I didn't attend Zhota's funeral? I felt good about my decision. Two reasons. After my father's death, I've never been to a cemetery. Secondly, if you know me... wherever I go, there's going to be a big fuss. The attention would go to me, and I didn't want that to happen ," Ronaldo said.
