He was wearing the No. 20 jersey and was named Diogo
We joined the club at the same time, and we are all newcomers to this city. Together we shared and celebrated some of the great moments in our careers. Before our last collaboration, you said to me, "You crossed, I scored," and that's true. Let’s laugh and talk together.
You are a special player, a special person, the real legend Diogo. People will always remember you and love you forever.
My heart and prayer are with your wife Lute, your children, your family, and all those who love you and wait for you to come home. You and your brother Andre will be missed forever.
May you rest in heaven, Diogo and Andre
May God give your family strength to help them through this nightmarish time and see the light again in the future.
We love you, Diogo. YNWA 🖤
