Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, the geniuses of world football 1:18
(CNN Spanish) - Cristiano Ronaldo is isolated in Portugal with his family. The Portuguese star was in solidarity about the pandemic that affects the world and especially his teammate Daniele Rugani, who tested positive for the COVID-19 coronavirus.
“The world is going through a difficult time that demands the utmost care and attention from all of us. I speak to you today not as a soccer player, but as a son, father, a human being concerned with the events that are affecting the entire world. It is important that we follow the advice of the WHO (World Health Organization) and the governing bodies in how we handle this situation. Protecting human life must be a precedent over any other interest. I would like to send my thoughts to all those who have lost someone close to them, my solidarity to those who are fighting the virus, such as my partner Daniele Rugani, and my continued support to health professionals who put their lives at risk to help save others. " -Cristiano Ronaldo
