Cristiano Ronaldo presents a 'signed' jersey to lift Vinicius Junior's spirits during his injury recovery

The Portugal jersey worn by Ronaldo in his match against Liechtenstein includes a personal message from the Al Nassr star.

In a heartwarming gesture, iconic footballer Cristiano Ronaldo presented his “signed” jersey to uplift the spirits of Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior, who is grappling with uncertainty in the 2023 season after sustaining an injury during the World Cup qualifiers against Colombia.

The Portugal jersey, adorned with a personal message from Ronaldo, was worn by the Al Nassr star during his match against Liechtenstein, as reported by Goal.

Taking to social media, the 23-year-old Real Madrid winger shared a snapshot of Ronaldo’s considerate gift along with the caption, “A glimpse into my gallery” on his Instagram account.

Ronaldo’s compassionate gesture underscores his generous nature and commitment to supporting and uplifting his fellow players.

Last week, Vinicius suffered a left thigh injury during Brazil’s 2-1 defeat against Colombia, and he is expected to be sidelined for several weeks, with a return slated for the second month of the upcoming year.

Ronaldo’s gifted jersey is poised to significantly boost Vinicius’s morale during his recovery.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo showcased his prowess by scoring two goals, including a remarkable 40-yard strike, in Al Nassr’s 3-0 victory over Al Akhdoud on Saturday.

Vinicius promptly expressed his admiration for his idol with a “SIIIII” and a crown symbol in the comments section of Ronaldo’s Instagram post.

Additionally, Rodrigo, Ronaldo’s teammate at Real Madrid, lauded the football legend with a comment featuring a goat and heart-eyed face emoji.

Notably, the 38-year-old forward maintains his position at the top of the Saudi Pro League’s leading scorers, having accumulated 15 goals thus far. His continued stellar performance is undoubtedly a testament to his desire to sustain this impressive form.
