Liverpool fans plan tribute for Ronaldo

Liverpool supporters are planning a tribute for Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, during their match against Manchester United at Anfield following the death of his baby son.

Ronaldo and his partner announced in October that they were expecting twins.

But Ronaldo revealed on Monday that their baby son had died during childbirth, while their newborn daughter survived.

United have already confirmed that Ronaldo will play no part in their Premier League fixture on Tuesday evening.

But fans on a Liverpool supporters group on Facebook have called for those who are attending the match at Anfield to hold a minute’s applause for Ronaldo and his partner in the seventh minute of the game.

Part of the message on the group read: “Rivalries should be set aside in heartbreaking circumstances such as these. You’ll Never Walk Alone, CR7 Jr.”
