This generous act comes after Chelsea won the competition by beating Paris SG 3-0 in the final. The club's decision to donate the prize money is a thoughtful way to show their respect and care for the families of the two players who were part of the Portuguese football community.
It's worth noting that Pedro Neto, a former Wolves player who was registered with Chelsea for the competition, had a close relationship with Diogo Jota. He was visibly emotional during the minute's silence in memory of his friend and attended Jota's funeral in Gondomar after the match against Palmeiras.
The families of Diogo Jota and André Silva will receive a total of 500,000 dollars, which is approximately 428,000 euros. This donation is a testament to Chelsea's commitment to supporting their players and their families both on and off the pitch.
