(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The world's most expensive footballer Cristiano Ronaldo shows his support for Palestinians by refusing to exchange shirts with Israeli footballers after a Portugal-Israel match.
On 22 March 2013, Portugal played Israel in a World Cup qualifying match. At the end of the game, players on the two teams exchanged shirts, as is common practice on these occasions.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the world's most expensive footballer, very pointedly walked past Israeli players who were offering to swap shirts.
It's not the first time Renaldo has shown his solidarity with the Palestinian people. According to some media reports, Cristiano refused to switch T-Shirt with Israeli footballers to record his protest against Israeli Brutality in Palestine. The Video also shows that how boldly he took this decision. This video is spreading massively on internet. On other hand, only few leading media channels reported this news.
In November 2012, we learnt that Ronaldo had donated €1.5 million to Palestinian children in Gaza. He gave the Golden Boot he was awarded in 2011 to be sold at auction to raise funds for schools in Gaza.
In 2011, he sold most of his sports shoes at a Real Madrid Foundation auction which was also dedicated to raising funds for schools in Gaza.
