Cristiano Ronaldo broke down after being shown footage of
his late father expressing his pride at his achievements.
The Juventus star was shown the clip of his father Jose
Dinis Aveiro speaking about him on his doorstep, ahead of the Euro 2004
tournament held in Portugal. His father, an alcoholic and former soldier, would
die of liver failure a year later at the age of 52, missing out on much of
Ronaldo's success and the birth of his four children.
Ronaldo also revealed how facing a rape allegation left him
feeling embarrassed in front of his girlfriend and children. Speaking about
the accusation, he said: 'It makes you
feel so bad.'
‘One day I was at home in the living room with my
girlfriend and then the news they speak about Cristiano Ronaldo, this and
that,' he said. ‘You listen to you kids coming down the stairs and you change
the channel because I was embarrassed, I feel embarrassed.'
‘He doesn’t see me receive awards.’— Good Morning Britain (@GMB) September 16, 2019
