Our hearts are full of love – we can’t wait to meet you,” read a statement released by Georgina Rodriguez at that time.

Clubs and Players Share Their Condolences
Manchester United showed their support for the grieving footballer as they tweeted, “Your pain is our pain, @Cristiano Sending love and strength to you and the family at this time.” The English Premier League also posted a message giving their thoughts and condolences to the family.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s former club Real Madrid also showered their support and love by saying, “Real Madrid, its president and board of directors are deeply saddened by the passing of one of the children that our dear Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner, Georgina Rodríguez, were expecting.
Real Madrid shares in the family’s pain and wishes to send them all of our warmth.” Many clubs and players also send the couple, messages of condolences.
The 37-year-old Portuguese had scored his second hattrick this season in the 3-2 win against Norwich City on Saturday. He was also seen dedicating the match ball to the soon to be born twins after the full-time whistle. The hattrick which took his season tally to 21 was also the 60th one of his career.
The win was also crucial as United have kept their top-4 hopes alive. However, they will be travelling to Anfield on Tuesday and their top scorer’s absence might be a huge setback. It is still unknown if the player will feel ready to make himself available for the game as his presence in the family is crucial at the moment, but the club will be backing whatever decision he makes.
