If you want to own a piece of Cristiano Ronaldo history and help save the life of a 6-month-old baby boy, you need to quickly join an auction. The item put on the “floor” was the captain’s armband thrown away by Ronaldo in the 2-2 draw between Serbia and Portugal.

An employee working at Rajko Mitic Stadium in Belgrade picked up the captain’s armband and donated it to a charity group in Serbia. The above historical item is valued at about 10,000 euros, but the volunteer group is hoping it will fetch much more thanks to the attraction of the Portuguese superstar.
“This money will be used to treat 6-month-old baby Gavrilo Djurdjevic, from Kragujevac, Serbia. Djurdjevic was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy and needs about 2.5 million euros to save his life. “, quoted from the auction website.
The charity group hopes that in addition to the money collected, the story of the auction of the captain’s armband once owned by CR7 will help spread the message of humanity and attract more philanthropists.

In the match at Rajko Mitic Stadium on March 28, Ronaldo was “robbed” of the 10th goal by the referee in the last minute of injury time. In anger, CR7 threw the captain’s armband and left the field even though the final whistle had not yet sounded.
After the incident, referee Danny Makkelie also had to apologize to Ronaldo and the Portuguese team. The Dutch “King of the Pitch” also admitted that he felt embarrassed by this unnecessary mistake.
