Ronaldo sends message to the family of boy who killed in Mexico earthquake

Cristiano Ronaldo poses with jersey with a message to the boy's family

Madrid, September 25: Cristinao Ronaldo has sent a message of solidarity to the family of a young fan killed in Mexico's earthquake.

Ronaldo tweeted a photo of himself holding a Real Madrid jersey with the message "To my No 1 fan, Santiago."
