Raul Jimenez wears Diogo Jota shirt as he walks out for Mexico in emotional tribute before copying star's celebration

RAUL JIMENEZ paid tribute to his former Wolves teammate Diogo Jota as Mexico won the Gold Cup on Sunday. The football world remains shaken by the tragic deaths of Jota, 28, and his brother Andre Silva, 25, last week. 6 6 6 Both Jota and Silva were killed in a car accident in Spain just over a week after Jota had married his wife Rute Cardoso. Tributes for the pair have poured in over the days that followed the tragedy and Jota's former teammate Jimenez is the latest to give a touching nod to the Liverpool star. Jimenez, who played with Jota for two years at Wolves, wore a shirt with his name and number on the back as he walked out onto the pitch for Mexico in the Gold Cup final against the USA. The 34-year-old Fulham striker later scored a crucial equaliser for Mexico in the 27th minute, hammering home from close range to bring Mexico level. And in the moment of jubilation Jimenez took another chance to honour his friend by copying Jota's 'Fifa' celebration. Jimenez mimicked playing video games in the same way that Jota previously did after scoring a 94th minute winner in a 4-3 victory over Tottenham in 2023. Jimenez also took the shirt he was wearing during the walkout and national anthems with Jota's name and laid out on the floor during the celebration. 6 6 Jota was an avid video game fan and known to be one of the best Fifa players in professional football, previously topping PlayStation 's FIFA Ultimate Team Champions leaderboard as world No1 in 2021. Jimenez and his Mexico teammates went on to add a second goal through West Ham midfielder Edson Alvarez, tipping the scales in their favour and winning the Gold Cup 2-1 over the USA. Jimenez had spoken before the game about the heartbreaking loss of Jota, recalling the memories he will cherish with the Premier League champion. He said: "He was a great teammate. We shared many beautiful moments being important parts of what Wolves achieved in those times. "It's very tough to learn this type of news about someone so close to you and who was a great friend." While he also reacted to the news on social media last week with a message that read: "It's hard to get this kind of news and I still can't believe it. An excellent colleague, friend and above all a great father. "Thank you for everything friend, we will always remember you. A hug to heaven R.I.P." 6

Heidi Klum is dwarfed by sons Henry, 19, and Johan, 18, as they join her for a rare photo - after admitting she 'loves working with her kids' following eldest boy's catwalk debut in Paris

Heidi Klum was joined by her two sons on Sunday as she made the most of soaring summer temperatures in Los Angeles. The German supermodel posed for a rare social media photo with boys Henry, 19, and Johan, 18, while unwinding in the garden of her southern California home. Klum, a mother-of-four, was dwarfed by her two sons with former husband Seal as they joined her for the photo, which she subsequently shared with Instagram followers. The supermodel is a parent to Henry, Johan and daughter Lou, 15, from her nine-year marriage to the British singer. She was also joined by musician husband Tom Kaulitz, who she married in 2019 - five years after her divorce from Seal - as the family relaxed in the sunshine. Additionally, Klum also raises daughter Leni, 21 - a successful model in her own right - from a past relationship with Formula One principal Flavio Briatore. However, she has previously stated that Briatore played no part in her daughter's life, and she has always considered her ex Seal to be Leni's true father. Klum's eldest son - whose full name is Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel - is also following in her modelling footsteps and made his catwalk debut at Paris Fashion Week in January. He confidently walked the runway at the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2025 show at Hotel le Marois. Henry's entry into the modelling world drew a strong reaction online, with some naysayers branding the genetically-blessed teen a 'nepo' baby. 'Funny how all these celebrities kids just get stuff handed to them! It's such a joke! Others have to work for it,' complained one. 'All grown up and very handsome,' wrote another, while a third added, 'Looks just like his mom and dad!' A fourth commented, 'Beautiful, isn't he? Sometimes it's just a matter of what gene you take from each parent. He won the lottery.' In May, Klum and Henry spoke exclusively with about their close bond and potentially working together in the future, with Henry praising his parents for being an 'inspiration' to him. 'Anything that I do, always so supportive and I hope love most importantly, that is number one at the top. So much love,' he added. Regarding a possible collaboration, he said: 'So we might have something, something coming up, we will be doing something together very soon.' Klum added: 'My kids are getting so much older now. I know. I mean, time flies. I also, 20 years ago I had Henry, time flies, it is crazy! I love working with my kids.' The model was also on hand to celebrate her youngest son's graduation from Campbell Hall in California earlier this month. 'Cheering you on today and every day,' she posted at the time. 'Congratulations Johan! My heart is full of joy and pride.' The teenager, full name Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel, wore a classic gown and mortar for the ceremony, held at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA amid violent ICE raid protests. Notable graduates of the Studio City private school include filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, actress Dakota Fanning, her younger sister Elle Fanning , Modern Family star Ariel Winter and the Olsen twins. Klum will return to host the 10-episode 21st season of design competition Project Runway from July 31. 'It's felt like coming home, really like coming home,' she told People on May 26. 'I can do it with my eyes closed, even though I'm judging clothes, so I have to have my eyes open, but I can do it with my eyes closed. 'I just love fashion so much, and I love how interested they are and how they're champing at the bit to get a spot in the fashion industry. 'So, it's so fun to give them a platform to show what they can do.'
