The Mexican national team is gearing up to host Portugal in a friendly this weekend, but all eyes are on a player who won’t even set foot on the pitch. Cristiano Ronaldo has officially been ruled out due to an injury sustained while at Al-Nassr, yet Mexican fans have decided that their idol’s absence won’t stand in the way of a heartfelt tribute.
Details: According to The Touchline, Mexican supporters have agreed to stage a collective gesture in honor of the Portuguese superstar.
The fans’ plan is as simple as it is symbolic: in the 7th minute of the match, the entire stadium will start chanting Cristiano’s name. This is how the Mexican crowd wants to recognize the legendary striker’s illustrious career.
