“Yet again, I have to get involved to say that this outcry, this clamour, this ignorance is not Cristiano Ronaldo’s fault. And I say it again: what they said about our captain is unfair.”
Cristiano Ronaldo, he was one of the people who felt it the most, especially because he was a true team-mate of Jota. His physical absence means nothing more than that, because he never abandoned this family,” – He added.
Meanwhile, a few of Ronaldo’s Portuguese teammates, Bernardo Silva, Rúben Dias, and Bruno Fernandes, attended the ceremony.
