Liverpool and Manchester United fans came together to offer a minute of applause to Cristiano Ronaldo during the Premier League derby between the two teams at Anfield.
Cristiano Ronaldo was the big absentee in the match after he announced on Monday that one of the twin children expected by his partner Georgina Rodríguez had died shortly after birth.
At the same time as minute 7 of the match, the number Cristiano Ronaldo wore on his shirt, Liverpool fans, one of the most passionate in the world defending their colors, left the historic rivalry between the two clubs by responding at the initiative adopted by its animation groups as a show of support for the Portuguese cracks in this delicate moment he is going through with his family.
Supporters got up from their seats and began applauding Cristiano. Some showed United’s ‘7’ shirt in the air and a good part of Anfield sang ‘You’ll never walk alone’, Liverpool’s famous anthem.
Klopp added to the applause
Jürgen Klopp himself, Liverpool manager, joined the band in an impressive act of solidarity from ‘red’ fans that took place just two minutes after Luis Díaz opened the scoring.
Luis Diaz and Salah made it 2-0
Díaz finished with a scary counter started by Sadio Mané with a deep pass on the right wing where Mohamed Salah put up a killer pass that pushed the Colombian into the net on goal.
Already in the 22nd minute, Liverpool made it 2-0, the work of Mohamed Salah after a sensational early help from Mané that left him alone against David De Gea.
