The picture was exciting. Last Tuesday, in Liverpool's 4-0 win against Manchester United, in the 7th minute there was an event that marked the respect that Cristiano Ronaldo has in the football world. A few hours after the death of one of the twins he had with his partner Georgina Rodriguez, Anfield paid tribute to the striker of the Red Devils.
In the stands of the stadium, thousands of spectators applauded standingb for more than 60 seconds in honor of the difficult situation that Cristiano has to go through. It was one of the most emotional moments of the season in the Premier League, which also included all 22 players with a mourning tape on their arms.
After this show of affection, CR7 took advantage of its social networks to leave an emotional message to everyone present on one of the most iconic courts in the world of football. “One world... One sport... A global family... Thank you, Anfield. My family and I will never forget this moment of respect and compassion,” wrote United No. 7 in a publication that was accompanied by images of the public amid the tribute he received at the home of the team led by Jürgen Klopp.
It must be remembered that it was the footballer himself who, through a statement, announced the tragic loss. “It is with our deepest sadness that we must announce the passing of our son. It's the biggest pain a parent can feel. Only the birth of our daughter gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness. We want to thank the doctors and nurses for their care and support. We are devastated by this loss and we beg for privacy at this hard time. Baby, you're our angel. We will always love you,” signed the Manchester player and Georgina Rodriguez.
Once the news broke, United also joined with a message confirming that Cristiano was not going to be part of the classic at Anfield. “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. We reiterate the family's request to respect their private life,” said the English football institution.
In October 2021, it became known that Georgina was pregnant from an interview published by the magazine Hola de España, in which the famous couple told that they had already passed the first trimester of pregnancy, and then both confirmed the news through social networks. At that time, the striker also experienced a major change in professional terms: he left Juventus to return to the stage where he had the explosion that led him to be recognized worldwide.
Cristiano is already the father of four children: the oldest is Cristiano Jr, who was born in 2010. Then, in June 2017, the twins Mateo and Eva came into the world. And a few months later, in November of that year, Alana Martina was born, the first joint daughter of the Portuguese gunner with Georgina.
