Manchester United and Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo said he will never forget the “respect and compassion” shown by Liverpool fans at Anfield. Liverpool fans showed him compassion and love when the crowd rose in the seventh minute of their game against Manchester United to honor and pay tribute following the death of his baby boy.
Even though it was Manchester United and Liverpool fans that united in a fan-led minute of applause in support of him and his family during Tuesday’s league game, he has taken the Liverpool fan’s own a bit very personal. Liverpool supporters sang their club’s anthem ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ after seven minutes with Ronaldo’s shirt number.
Cristiano said: “I and my family will never forget this moment of respect and compassion.” “One world… One sport… One global family… Thanks, Anfield.” Both United and Liverpool players wore black armbands as a mark of respect to Ronaldo and his family.
