The family of Cristiano Ronaldo have thanked Liverpool fans for their show of support for the Manchester United star and his partner following the tragic death of their baby son.
Ronaldo missed the match at Anfield on Tuesday night on compassionate grounds after he and his girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, announced on Monday evening that their new-born baby son had died. United and Liverpool supporters showed their respect for the Portuguese forward in the seventh minute of the match as they joined together in an impeccably-respected minute's applause.
Liverpool supporters also belted out a rendition of their club anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone" as a sign of support and unity following the awful tragedy.
