Cristiano Ronaldo has shared a family photo for the first time since his baby son died, saying it is time to be "grateful" for his newborn daughter.
The football superstar announced three days ago that his son had died, saying his family was "devastated at this loss".
The football world rallied to support the player, with Liverpool fans setting aside their fierce rivalry with Ronaldo's Manchester United during their game to sing You'll Never Walk Alone in his honour.
The forward, considered one of the greatest players of all time, missed the clash on compassionate grounds.
In a tweet on Thursday, Ronaldo posted a photo of himself and Georgina Rodriguez with his children, including his baby daughter.
