Cristiano Ronaldo did not forget Lionel Messi in a painful moment for the Argentine star.
A day after confirming his marriage to Georgina Rodríguez, the Portuguese sent a message of support to his great rival, following the death of Messi's father, Jorge Messi.
Ronaldo commented on Lionel Messi's first public post after the passing of his father, expressing his condolences and support during this difficult period.
"A big hug to you and your family in these difficult times, Leo. Lots of strength."
Ronaldo's message received a lot of attention, as the two footballers have been at the center of one of the greatest rivalries in football history for more than a decade. However, off the pitch, the two have consistently shown respect for each other.

In his dedication, Messi expressed great pain over the loss and uncertainty about the future.
Messi also recalled that his father was by his side from the beginning of his football journey and that their relationship was much more than that between a footballer and his manager.
Cristiano Ronaldo's message came on an important day for his personal life as well. Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez married in a private ceremony in Portugal, making their relationship official after nearly a decade together.
On this very day, Ronaldo took the time to send support to Messi. The gesture was interpreted as further proof that the famous rivalry between the two football legends has not diminished the human respect between them.
On the pitch, Ronaldo and Messi have been rivals for years. Off it, however, moments like this show that sporting rivalry can remain separate from human relationships.
