Elma Aveiro, Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister, responded to a video of her brother sobbing after Portugal was eliminated from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
After Morocco knocked Portugal from the World Cup over the weekend, Ronaldo sobbed uncontrollably.
After the game’s final whistle, the former Manchester United forward could be seen weeping as he made his way down the tunnel.
After Youssef En-Nesyri scored the game’s lone goal for Morocco against Portugal in the World Cup quarterfinal match, the 37-year-old player came off the bench.
Ronaldo later left the field in tears when Morocco eliminated them from the 2022 World Cup.
In response, Aveiro claimed the video of Ronaldo sobbing was lovely and that she could not stop watching it in a post on her Instagram account on Monday.
“Beautiful image, love, gratitude, value, are values that not everyone has… Beautiful is this video that I don’t get tired of watching and it’s not Portuguese, I don’t know if I made myself understand greater pride, greatest human being, great son, brother, father, an example to all and all.
“Thank God for giving me as a brother this boy/man that I’m so proud of and love with all my strength. Thank God. Thanks, Ronaldo,” She posted alongside the video.
