After the death of one of his two unborn twins, Cristiano Ronaldo did not play Liverpool this Tuesday in the pending match for matchday 30 of the Premier League, as reported in the preview of the match Manchester United. In this context, footballers from both teams and fans of the local team showed their respects to the Portuguese footballer.
The 22 players who took the field at Anfield did so with a mourning tape on their arm to symbolically accompany the Red Devils scorer who stayed with his family, especially his partner, Georgina Rodríguez, in this difficult moment.
“Family is the most important thing and Ronaldo supports his loved ones in this incredibly difficult period. Consequently, we can confirm that he will not play Liverpool,” Manchester United reported in a brief statement released earlier this Tuesday. “We reiterate the family's request to respect their private life.”
In turn, a group of Liverpool fans promoted the initiative of holding a tribute to Cristiano, under the slogan “You will never walk alone, CR7 JR”, using the flagship phrase of the Anfield team: “If you are lucky enough to attend the match tomorrow night, show a sign of respect to Cristiano Ronaldo and his family participating in the round of applause that will take place in the seventh minute. Rivalries must be set aside in harrowing circumstances like these.” In the stands, the thousands of spectators stood up and applauded in the seventh minute, crowning one of the most emotional moments of the season.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, had announced on social media that they lost the child, when the little twin was born without problems. The five-fold Balón de Oro, 37, was already the father of four children, three of whom were born by surrogacy before meeting the Spanish model who was born in Argentina.
CR7 had scored a treble on Saturday which had allowed Manchester United to defeat Norwich 3-1 and get into the race to qualify for the next Champions League. A win on the Liverpool field, which precedes him by 19 points and battles with Manchester City for the title of champion, would allow the Red Devils to reach Tottenham in number of points, fourth and final virtual qualifier for the Champions League, although the Spurs will have one less match.
