#3 Cristiano Ronaldo never forgets a kind gesture
Cristiano Ronaldo recollected the story in an interview with Piers Morgan in 2019 where three McDonald's workers gave him free burgers as a teenager.
The Portuguese icon revealed that he was often hungry as a teenager but had no money. This is why they would go in front of a McDonald's outlet outside the stadium in search of food.
Speaking to ITV, Ronaldo said:
"We were a little hungry. We had a McDonald’s next to the stadium, we knocked on the door and asked have you got any burgers. There was always Edna and two other girls. I never found them again."
The former Juventus star declared that he would love to invite them to dinner at his house if he were to find them.
“I asked people in Portugal, they closed the McDonalds, but if this interview can help find them, I would be so happy. I want to invite them to Turin or Lisbon to come have dinner with me because I want to give something back.”
This incident shows how the 36-year-old is kind to those who have helped him when times were tough.
#2 Ronaldo helped a Lebanese orphan who lost his parents
Haider, a boy from the Lebanese capital Beirut, was orphaned when his parents were killed due to suicide bombings.
Following the brutal attack in Beirut, photographs emerged of a young Real Madrid fan, Haider, who was seen donning Los Blancos' famous white jersey.
The three-year-old's dream came true when he was provided with an opportunity to meet Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese legend was seen comforting the boy during their meeting.
Real Madrid officially released a statement following Haider's tour of the Santiago Bernabeu.
"Following the brutal attack in the Lebanese capital last month, the story of Haider, photographed in a Real Madrid shirt after surviving the massacre, came to global attention. And, since then, the club had been ceaseless in its efforts to get in contact with him and arrange for his dream of meeting Cristiano and visiting the Bernabéu to be brought to life."
It again proves how Ronaldo is not just an incredible footballer but a man with a golden heart.
#1 Classy gesture on the pitch and helping with the treatment of young fans
There have been numerous heart-warming incidents involving Cristiano Ronaldo and pitch invaders. It is impossible to specify just one, because the Manchester United superstar has always had time for his fans. He even went on to protect his fans from security guards at times.
Ronaldo has always donated to aid in the treatment of young patients whenever he can. The stories of Erik Ortiz Cruz and Nuhuzet Guillen are famous, where the Portuguese paid for their full treatment after hearing their stories.
