Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo took part in Manchester United’s April 23 match against Arsenal, his first appearance on the field since announcing the death of his son earlier this month.
Cristiano Ronaldo & Fiancee Get Support After Son’s Death
Less than a week after announcing that his newborn son had tragically passed away, Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to the soccer pitch.
The legendary soccer star, 37, joined his Manchester United teammates on the field in a match against Arsenal on April 23. Despite Ronaldo scoring a goal 34 minutes into the game, United would end up losing to the opposing team 3-1.
With his latest goal, Ronaldo marked a major milestone in his Premiere League career: his 100th goal. The athlete marked the special occasion by poignantly pointing up to the sky—a move which some fans believed to be a tribute to his son.
Ronaldo later appeared to confirm the theory himself, when he tweeted a photo of the moment and added a red heart emoji.
In a joint statement posted by Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodríguez on April 18, the couple—who announced that they were expecting twins last October—revealed that their newborn son had passed away.
“It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away,” the statement read. “It is the greatest pain that any parent can feel. Only the birth of our baby girl gives us strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.”
