The world of football has come together to express its grief and condolences to Cristiano Ronaldo and his family after the Manchester United defender announced the tragic death of his late son. Ronaldo, who shared that twin hope with his partner Georgina Rodríguez in October, confirmed the news this month, generating a wave of solidarity in the football community.
Manchester United, the club where Ronaldo currently plays, posted a message regarding that decision: “Your pain is our pain. Sending love and strength to you now your family in this moment, Cristiano.” This gesture underlines the deep connection between the player and his club, which in difficult moments makes itself felt like a true family.
Marcus Rashford, Ronaldo's teammate, showed his support on social media: “My thoughts are with Georgina, brother. I feel it a lot.” Likewise, Brazilian star Marta also sent her best wishes to Ronaldo on Instagram, wishing him strength to his family.
Pelé, the Brazilian football legend, also expressed his condolences: “My friend, I send you my prayers and my most sincere condolences in this very difficult moment. May God comfort your hearts and illuminate every step of the way.”
Other teammates and football personalities joined the tribute. James Rodríguez, who played alongside Ronaldo at Real Madrid, said: “Fuerza para ti y tu familia”. Gary Lineker, a former footballer and commentator, described the news as “terribly sad” and expressed his sincere condolences.
Even rival clubs such as Manchester City showed their support, tweeting: “The whole world at Manchester City sends our deepest condolences to you Georgina and your family.” Liverpool also joined in the show of solidarity, posting: “All of us here at Liverpool FC send our deepest condolences to you Georgina and your family,” ahead of their Premier League match against United.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the father of several children: Alana Martina, his first child with Georgina, born in November 2017; he also has twins, Eva and Mateo, born through a rental agreement in June 2017, and his son, the mayor, Cristiano Jr., 11 years old, from a previous relationship. This tragedy represents the fortune of the Ronaldo family, who faces immense pain with the help of a community that is in adversity.
