The fans of both teams, in a decision promoted by the Liverpool fans and by their support groups, melted into a minute of applause dedicated to the Portuguese soccer player.
In minute 7, with 1-0 in favor of Liverpool, thanks to a goal after four minutes from Luis Díaz, people got up from their seats and began to applaud Cristiano. While some fans showed the Portuguese shirt on the air, a good part of Anfield began to chant the You’ll Never Walk Alone.
Cristiano, 37, released the news on Monday of the loss of one of the twins she had with his partner Georgina.
The Liverpool thrashed Manchester United 4-0 and take the provisional head of the championship ahead of Manchester City’s game on Wednesday against Brighton. With this victory, the ‘Reds’ add 76 points, for the 74 of a City that will have the opportunity to recover the lead with only six days left in the competition.
