The Real Madrid superstar had to be taken off midway through the
first half of Portugal’s 2-0 win over France after sustaining an
interior crucial ligament injury.
Ronaldo fell to a heap after colliding with France’s Dimitri Payet
and although he tried to carry on, the 31-year-old couldn’t play through
the pain.
And his sister, Katia Aveiro, has since compared her brother’s pain
at not being able to star in Portugal’s triumph to Jesus Christ dying
for the sins of humankind on Instagram.
She wrote:
“These tears I cried for my wounded brother were like
daggers to the heart, and we all cried with him for the awful pain we
had together.
“But
God is great and just as our savior Jesus Christ suffered on the cross
for a better world for us, Cristiano cried in the pain of not being able
to help his teammates and his beloved people.
“But God is just and they deservedly lifted the trophy, and fulfilled the dream; we are champions.”
