Despite one of the fiercest rivalries in English football, Liverpool fans have performed a minute of applause in honor of Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo on Tuesday 19 April. The latter missed the meeting after the death of one of his newborn twins.
This tribute was made in the 7th minute, in reference to the number displayed by the fivefold Ballon d’Or. The spectators at Anfield rose to their feet and, to applause, the Kop sang the Liverpool anthem You’ll Never Walk Alone“you will never walk alone” in English.
Ronaldo and his partner, the Spanish model of Argentine origin Georgina Rodriguez, had announced on social networks that they had lost their boy who had just been born, while his twin was in good health. “It is the greatest pain a parent can feel“, had co-wrote the two bereaved parents on social networks, “We are devastated and ask for privacy at this very difficult time”.
