Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his sympathy to Lionel Messi following the Argentina captain’s emotional tribute to his late father, Jorge Messi.
Jorge Messi died last Friday at the age of 68 after a prolonged illness.
Messi addressed the loss publicly on Wednesday, sharing his grief and revealing uncertainty about continuing his professional football career.
Ronaldo responded to the Inter Miami forward’s Instagram post with a message of encouragement for his longtime football rival.
“A huge hug to you and yours in these tough times, Leo. Much strength,” Ronaldo wrote in the comments section of Messi’s post.
