Liverpool fans dedicated a minute long applause to Cristiano Ronaldo, who was dramatically absent from the postponement of the 30th matchday of the Premier League with Manchester United due to the death of one of his newborn twins. In the 7th minute, like the Portuguese shirt number, the Anfield spectators stood up and applauded, while the Kop sang the Reds anthem ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’. Play continued during this unscheduled play, with Liverpool already leading 1-0.
Ronaldo and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, had announced on social media that they had lost their newborn baby, while the twin is in good health. The five-time Golden Ball, 37, was already the father of four children, three of whom had with surrogate motherhood, before his meeting with his current partner.
