Elisabete and Xavier, mother and son who live in Toronto, traveled 5,913 kilometers to the Algarve and were in disbelief when they saw Ronaldo pick up a yellow card in Slovakia that will rule him out of tonight’s game.

The trip had been planned for a long time. The team will play in the Algarve in September, still during the school holidays, and little Xavier, who lives in the Canadian city of Toronto, has only one wish: to come to Portugal and see his idol Cristiano Ronaldo in the game. against Luxembourg.

The mother, Elisabete, an emigrant to the North American country, agreed to the request and booked a three-day trip and hotel in the Faro region. The puppy will fulfill his dream of seeing CR7 alive and in color.

Until, with everything marked, it was a shock, and a few tears, to see the referee of last Friday’s Slovakia-Portugal match give the captain a yellow card, his third in this qualifier, which automatically rules him out of the duel with Luxembourg. .

They still hope that Cristiano can be present at the stadium this Monday, even though he cannot play. However, the Al Nassr striker remained in the training camp for one night, but after lunch on Sunday, he left the camp and returned home.

Remember the terrible tackle that earned CR7 a yellow card in Slovakia

Xavier was even more sad and in a conversation with A BALL he did not hide his disappointment, but combined it with a desire to see another star he adored.

“Yes, I was disappointed not to see Ronaldo. I like it. I really want to meet him, it’s my dream. But, that’s all, I will see the Portuguese team and I also really like Bruno Fernandes,” he said in English. “It was really his dream,” concluded his mother.
