Reports: Cristiano Ronaldo's hairstyle dedicated to young fan who had brain surgery

Cristiano Ronaldo was seen with a new hairstyle which is now rumoured to be a tribute to a young Real Madrid fan.

It was reported during the month of March this year that Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo had offered to cover all the medical bills of a 10-month old Erik Ortiz Cruz who was suffering from cortical dysplasia, an abnormality where the patient gets almost up to 30 seizures a day.

Last night, he was seen sporting an edgy look during Portugal’s 2-2 draw with the United States, and reports surfacing the internet are speculating that the Portuguese might have donned the look in tribute to young Erik.

The story was further confirmed by The Independent and Bleacher Report, however, Ronaldo is yet to comment on the story.
