Cristiano Ronaldo has paid a touching tribute to his 'number one fan', six-year-old Santiago Flores Mora, who tragically died during the earthquake in Mexico City, last week.
The 7.1-magnitude earthquake has claimed the lives of over 300 people in the Mexican capital, so far, after devastating the city last week on the anniversary of the 1985 earthquake that caused the deaths of over 5,000 people.
Santiago was said to be a huge fan of the Real Madrid star and has now had a heartfelt tribute paid to him by the Portugal captain, who took to social media to share a picture of a shirt he signed for Santiago along with a poignant message.
