Liverpool supporters cheered Cristiano Ronaldo on Tuesday evening. In the game against Manchester United there was loud applause after seven minutes and supporters sang the You’ll Never Walk Alone. Of course, the Manchester United fans who traveled along also clapped for their attacker. On Monday it was announced that Ronaldo and his wife Georgina Rodríguez have lost one of their two expected children.

Ronaldo and his partner lost a son. The couple was expecting fraternal twins. The girl was born healthy. Due to personal circumstances, Ronaldo will not be present at the match. Liverpool took a 1-0 lead with a goal from Luis Díaz in the fifth minute. Two minutes later, a reference to jersey number 7, Ronaldo received a standing ovation at the arch-rival’s stadium.
