Ronald regularly supports children in difficult circumstances.
TP – Not only famous on the field, star Cristiano Ronaldo also received a lot of sympathy from fans when he recently decided to use all of his 2016 Champions League bonus to support a charity fund in Portugal.
This season, Cristiano Ronaldo is still Real Madrid’s most important player in their journey to conquer the Champions League. With 16 goals, the Portuguese striker won the title of “Top scorer” of the tournament for the fourth consecutive time and in the final match against the same city club Atletico Madrid, Ronaldo also took the decisive penalty kick, helping the Spanish Royal team win the championship for the 11th time.
Not only successful on the field, recently, the Portuguese player has won the hearts of many fans when he donated all the money Real awarded him to a charity fund in his hometown. Specifically, according to Marca, Real Madrid awarded Ronaldo 600 thousand euros (about more than 15 billion VND) for his contributions to the team in the process of conquering the 11th Champions League trophy. Without thinking, CR7 decided to send this money to a charity fund called “Save the Children” in Madeira city – Portugal to help poor children in this area.
This is not the first time Ronaldo has made a noble gesture for children in difficult circumstances. According to a survey by Marca, the Portuguese player is the top name in the top 10 athletes with the most charitable activities in the world. For example, in August 2016, Ronaldo donated 83,000 USD for brain surgery for a 10-year-old boy, then he donated 165,000 USD to a cancer treatment center in South Africa and especially in 2015, the Portuguese superstar spent nearly 8 million USD to support earthquake victims in Nepal.
Of course, with an income of more than 60 million USD a year, what Ronaldo spends on charity does not affect his income much. But in reality, 600,000 euros is not a small amount of money, it will help a lot of children in difficult circumstances. This action of Ronaldo won the hearts of fans all over the world.
Currently, Ronaldo is focusing with the Portuguese national team to prepare for the journey to conquer the Euro 2016 final round which will take place in France next week.
