Fans saw Katia Aveiro having a wonderful time and spending precious moments with her loved ones in Portugal. She posted an Instagram story of herself and her daughter posing next to a bust sculpture of Ronaldo. The 45-year-old pop singer wittily quoted, “How can she love her uncle even without a body”. She ridiculed the sculpture’s form, while her daughter expressed fondness for her uncle by standing close to it. In addition, Aveiro also paid a visit to the former Manchester United icon’s museum while she was in Madeira.
On many occasions, Cristiano Ronaldo’s sisters, Elma Aveiro and Katia Aveiro, were vocal on social media by supporting him. On the contrary, Elma Aveiro garnered attention due to her contentious views on soccer. Despite that, CR7 received unwavering encouragement from her and other family members.

The Knights of Najd showed tremendous resilience in recovering from a two-goal deficit and winning 4-2 in the playoff clash. Anderson Talisca’s brace and Marcelo Brozovic’s goal in stoppage time helped Al Nassr defeat Shabab Al-Ahli to qualify for the AFC Champions League major draw after three years. Not to be outdone, Cristiano Ronaldo assisted Brozovic in the dying minutes, sealing a memorable comeback for Al Nassr.
CR7 was vexed by the referee’s reluctance to grant three potential penalty kicks. Yet, he maintained his usual lofty standards and helped his team to a much-needed victory after two consecutive losses in the Saudi Pro League. As a result, fans were eager to see if the five-time Ballon d’Or winner could continue his illustrious form against Al Fateh on Friday as the league fixtures resume.
