The Portuguese footballer decided to stay with his partner Georgina Rodríguez, but fans did not hold back to show their support to the football icon.

There are times when the world of football and its rivalries are not important, and Liverpool fans proved that today by offering a touching tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo and his family in the wake of the tragedy that struck them hard in the past 24 hours.

The player took it to social media to share the disturbing news of the passing of one of the babies his partner Georgina Rodríguez is expecting. While tributes and messages of support from around the globe followed CR7's announcement, one of the classiest gestures came from Liverpool fans in the game taking place this evening.

The Reds and Manchester United are known for sharing quite the rivalry, but that did not matter to those attending Anfield Stadium today. Even if the player was not present, fans decided to offer a round of applause to the Portuguese ace precisely at the seventh minute, while all four ends of the stadium sang "You'll Never Walk Alone," the team's iconic song.
