The football community continues to mourn the tragic passing of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, who died following a car accident on Thursday morning. Tributes and respects have continued pouring in from around the world of football.

Adding their tributes, Kylian Mbappé (26) and Ousmane Dembélé (28) dedicated their goal celebrations during recent FIFA Club World Cup matches. The French stars scored for their clubs, PSG and Real Madrid, respectively, in games against Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

Dembélé honored Jota by using his signature video game celebration after scoring a late goal against Bayern Munich (the Bundesliga champions). The 28-year-old Jota was widely known for his passion for video games and even competed professionally in e-sports. Meanwhile, Mbappé paid homage by signaling `20` – the number Jota famously wore at Liverpool – after scoring a stunning bicycle kick against Dortmund.
