Rute Cardoso, the wife of Diogo Jota, has paid tribute to her late husband, marking a month since the couple got married.
Liverpool and Portugal star Jota died in a car crash in Spain on July 3 at the age of 28 along with his 25-year-old brother André Silva – who was also a professional footballer.
In a post on Instagram, Cardoso shared photographs from their wedding day on June 22, along with an emotional message.
'1 month since our 'til death do us part,'' she said Tuesday, adding she was 'forever' his.
Jota married his long-term partner Cardoso less than two weeks before the crash. The couple had three children together.
The soccer world has rallied behind the family since Jota's death. His funeral was attended by many current players, including Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Portugal star Rúben Neves.
Cardoso was pictured embracing other mourners as she arrived at the church ahead of the ceremony on July 5.
Liverpool, the team Jota was playing for before his death, has since retired his No. 20 shirt.
A mural of the star has also been painted on a wall in the city.
Jota was a vital part of Liverpool's recent success, lifting the Premier League trophy at the end of last season.
He was also part of the Portugal national team which won the Nations League in June this year, having also won the competition in 2019.

AFL makes decision on fresh Toby Greene incident as Lions veteran blasts 'joke' fine
GWS Giants captain Toby Greene has escaped punishment after fresh vision appeared to show him kicking Swans rival Dane Rampe in the groin. While Brisbane Lions veteran Dayne Zorko has lashed out at the AFL after describing his latest sanction for using 'insulting and profane language' as an 'absolute joke'. Greene is set to miss the Giants' next game against the Western Bulldogs on Thursday night after copping a one-game ban for using his forearm to make high contact on Sydney star Isaac Heeney, during the come-from-behind win for GWS in round 20. But the AFL's new Executive General Manager of Football Performance, Greg Swann, explained why the MRO has not taken any further action against Greene after the incident with Rampe. Nine's Footy Classified aired footage on Monday night that showed the tussle between Greene and Rampe before Friday night's grudge match got underway. After a bit of push and shove between the pair, the vision appeared to show Greene deliver a backheel to the groin of his opponent that went unnoticed at the time, leading to suggestions he could face further sanction from the MRO. "I feel like the AFL will look at this," Essendon legend Matthew Lloyd said on Footy Classified. "I'm not sure what they do after the event, if this is the first time they've heard about or known about the vision. "But the groin region and an intentional kick going to that area I think certainly must be looked at by the AFL. I'd expect a statement from them, you'd think, in the next 24 hours." Geelong great Jimmy Bartel - who is a former GWS board member - agreed with Lloyd despite veteran AFL reporter Damien Barrett saying the Swans had no issues with the incident and hadn't lodged a complaint with the AFL. "It's still pretty average, though," Bartel said. "Kicking is a no-go, and then kicking to the groin region, throwing your legs back like that... And this is the issue with Toby Greene, especially in big games. He sees the red mist even worse than most gentlemen, and it's the problem. Damning new vision has emerged of Toby Greene's ugly act at the start of the spiteful Sydney Derby. #9FootyClassified | Watch on Nine & 9Now 🖥️ — Footy on Nine (@FootyonNine) July 28, 2025 However, Swann told SEN radio on Tuesday that the incident has been reviewed and Greene won't face any further punishment. 'We won't be taking any action on it, only on the basis that he actually doesn't connect. Whether we think that's a thing we want in the game is a separate thing - which obviously we don't," Swann told SEN. 'At the moment the MRO can only, from a penalty perspective, go upwards. It can't come down. So it's zero (weeks) or three. Some of these incidents that should get a one or a two (week ban)... you understand that you put the table together to provide consistency but there's always outliers in footy... This is probably one of those... but if you look at Rampe he misses him really because he doesn't react and they just play on.' Dayne Zorko lashes 'joke' sanction after copping $3000 fine Meanwhile, Lions veteran Zorko has slammed the AFL after copping a $3000 sanction for using 'insulting and profane language' towards the officials' bench during the round 19 win over the Bulldogs. The AFL has made it clear they have a zero tolerance policy on abusive or insulting language towards AFL umpires or match officials. But Zorko described the fine against him as a 'witch hunt' and says the Lions would be seeking a 'please explain' from league bosses after claiming players are no longer allowed to express their frustrations at officials during games. 'It's an absolute joke, but anyway,' Zorko said on SEN radio. 'The witch hunt is back out on me. We'll seek further clarification and hopefully we'll get that. You can't have any frustration in this game anymore. You've got to be an absolute robot. If you're not, then you pay the price. Disappointing, but it is what it is.'

Zorko had a season-low 17 disposals in the loss to the Suns, which saw the reigning premiers drop to third on the ladder ahead of Saturday night's blockbuster showdown against competition leaders, Collingwood. with AAP

Top light heavyweight Joshua Buatsi closing in on promotional deal with Frank Warren's Queensberry
Light heavyweight contender Joshua Buatsi is Queensberry bound. Buatsi is expected to depart from Ben Shalom's BOXXER and finalize a promotional deal with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions this week, sources close to the situation told Uncrowned. The London-based former WBO interim champion previously left Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing to sign with BOXXER in 2023. The move was the subject of a £7.7 million ($9.5 million) high court battle after Matchroom alleged that BOXXER and Sky Sports had persuaded Buatsi to unlawfully abandon his exclusive promotional contract with them. The lawsuit resulted in the respective parties reaching a settlement earlier this year. Per court documents obtained by Uncrowned, Buatsi was offered an 18-month agreement with BOXXER for a minimum of four bouts with a minimum total aggregate purse between £3.25 million ($4.05 million) and £3.75 million ($4.68 million). Buatsi had his fourth contest with BOXXER when he dropped his WBO interim title to Callum Smith this past February on the Dmitry Bivol vs. Artur Beterbiev 2 undercard in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Buatsi's departure from BOXXER is expected to be the first of many fighters exiting the promotional stable after Sky Sports chose not to renew its four-year, £36 million ($45.5 million) agreement with the British promoter. Uncrowned understands that talks have taken place between BOXXER and the BBC to broadcast shows on iPlayer, although if a deal were to be reached, it would be significantly smaller than the one BOXXER had with Sky. BOXXER's primary rivals, Matchroom and Queensberry, have existing output agreements with streaming service DAZN. Queensberry also promotes Anthony Yarde, who challenges David Benavidez for the WBC light heavyweight title in November. A Buatsi vs. Yarde fight has been desired by British fans for the better part of the last decade, though an agreement for the matchup has yet to materialize.
