Cristiano Ronaldo relaxes at home in Madeira

The ‘best in the world’ takes advantage of the gathering period in Madeira to relax in the comfort of home.

After touring the island, Cristiano Ronaldo opts to stay at his house, next to the port of Funchal, where he was photographed having coffee on the balcony, in the company of the sisters Kátia and Elma.

The star remains on the island, with his family, trying to stay away from the coronavirus pandemic, after Juventus announced two positive cases of Covid-19, Frenchman Blaise Matuidi and Italian Daniele Rugani .

Both players remain in quarantine.

In a message left on social networks, last week, Ronaldo expressed his solidarity with those who are facing the virus, “just like my teammate Daniele Rugani”, and demonstrates his continued support for the fantastic professionals who have put their lives at risk to save others.

The Italian Government has decided to temporarily suspend the Italian football championship, due to the significant advance of Covid-19 in Italy, the second country in the world most affected by the pandemic, after China.

  1. I’m sure if I met Ronaldo that he’d be an impressive and unassuming chap. After all, he started out quite humbly under Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, who was not known for his tolerance of a, “prima donna”. But why the hero-worship surrounding Ronaldo on Madeira? I believe some perspective to be in order (a very successful footballer that looks after himself and his family).

  2. Because , you have a public perception , and then the truth . Ronaldo was born here in poverty and had a dream that he worked hard to fulfil. He has done a lot for this Island that no one knows about including donating to the oncology unit at the hospital .
    When in Spain , he was asked for a signed shirt for an auction to enable a child to have a 70k operation . Yes , he sent the shirt but also paid for the op . It only became public when someone told the press .
    He does not publicise his charity work , just does it .

    1. I thought as much because no player would have lasted 5 minutes under Ferguson with notions about himself (as Beckham found out to his cost :)). My beef is with the whole hero-worshipping thing that jars with my British sensibilities.

  3. He is one of the best players in the world even in football’s history and he owes a lot of that to his hard work. He was born on Madeira and I believe millions of people learned about this island because of him and probably thousands came here also because of him. I believe people of Madeira know it best why he is so important to them and we should not try to question it.

  4. Exactly Jay, I remember when the CR7 museum opened. Usual rubbish, big head etc etc . It wasn’t done for that reason. It was to encourage people to visit the Island , younger people who read about Madeira by following him on social media. It boosted the economy . My grandson visited when it first opened and was thrilled to see the trophies etc up close.

  5. Just watch that headed goal for Juve this year – at his age 34? he ran half the field to be in the right place and leapt as high as the bar. A better headed goal you won’t see. A fitter more determined 34 yr old you won’t see. Simply the best although he has misbehaved from time to time – but who hasn’t hey Mr Salmond?
