Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo thanked Liverpool fans for their outpouring of support during the teams’ Premier League meeting on Tuesday, which the Portuguese player missed due to the death of his newborn son.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodriguez announced in October last year that they were expecting twins, but one of the two babies died on Monday.
Cristiano Ronaldo received a standing ovation from Liverpool fans in the seventh minute of the match at Anfield, with Liverpool fans singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” while Manchester United fans applauded.
