Cristiano Ronaldo posted a special message of thanks to fans of Liverpool and Manchester United following their emotional tribute to him during Tuesday’s Premier League match.
Both clubs put on a show of support during Tuesday’s league encounter at Anfield, sharing a widespread round of applause around the ground throughout the seventh minute of the clash – in tribute to Ronaldo, whose baby son passed away on Monday. Ronaldo shared a reel of the minute on his Instagram account on Thursday, with the message “Thank you all”, alongside Ronaldo’s signature.
The Manchester United superstar and his partner confirmed the tragic death of their baby boy on Monday, describing their new-born baby boy as an “angel” while adding that their baby daughter was giving the two "strength" amid the emotional pain. Ronaldo was not involved in the United matchday squad for their Premier League trip to Liverpool on Tuesday evening as the club afforded him compassionate leave.
