Neymar commented on the post and wrote – “Much strength for you and your family big hug”.
“A huge hug to you and yours in these tough times, Leo . Much strength,” Ronaldo wrote in an Instagram comment on Messi’s post. Messi expressed deep grief over his father’s death, saying he still struggled to accept the loss and felt Jorge had left too soon.
