A special atmosphere. Mexican fans prepare heartfelt tributes to Ronaldo, Jiménez, and Jota
The friendly match between the national teams of Mexico and Portugal promises to be not just a sporting event, but an emotionally charged evening for fans. Mexican supporters are organizing a series of symbolic tributes to honor renowned footballers, reports The Touchline.
Despite Cristiano Ronaldo's absence from the pitch due to injury, fans plan to chant his name in the 7th minute of the match, paying homage to the Portuguese legend's illustrious career.
In the 9th minute, the stadium will rally behind Raúl Jiménez—fans intend to chant his name in support following a recent loss in the player's family. Special attention will also be given to Diogo Jota: in the 20th minute, spectators are planning a standing ovation for the Liverpool forward, who tragically passed away in a car accident last summer.
The organization of these tributes is being actively discussed on social media, with fans hoping to turn the match into a truly special event filled with respect, solidarity, and the spirit of football.
