The family of Cristiano Ronaldo have expressed their appreciation towards Liverpool supporters following last night's minute's applause at Anfield in memory of the Manchester United forward's son.
It was announced on Monday by Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodriguez that their new-born son had tragically died, prompting Reds fans to propose the idea of a collective applause in the seventh minute of the match (representing the shirt number worn by the Portugal international).
Not involved in the Red Devils' matchday squad for last night's contest after requesting privacy at this difficult time, all those inside Anfield paid their respect in his absence and loudly sung 'You'll Never Walk Alone' to demonstrate a clear show of support to the 37-year-old.
