London (AFP) – The Portuguese superstar of Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo, in mourning for the recent death of one of his two newborn babies, showed his gratitude to Liverpool and his fans on Thursday for the support they gave him in Tuesday’s match between the two teams .

In the 7th minute of the game, as the number 7 he has worn since he was young and his first time at Old Trafford, the spectators present at Anfield, and the Reds technical team on the edge of the field, rose for a minute of applause in support Cristiano Ronaldo, while the famous Kop (Liverpool’s famous fans’ gallery) sang the club’s anthem, “You’ll Never Walk Alone”.

CR7 posted a video of this tribute on his Instagram account with the caption: “One world… One sport… One universal family. Thank you Anfield. My family and I will never forget this moment of respect and compassion.”

The symbol was greater considering that the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United is one of the strongest in English football.

Ronaldo and his partner, the Spanish model Georgina Rodríguez, had announced on social networks that they had lost their son who had just been born, while their daughter, in the birth of twins, was in good health.

The quintuple Ballon d’Or, 37, was already the father of four children, three of them born by surrogacy, before finding Georgina Rodríguez.
