Ronaldo under attack for controversial birthday party gathering
The Juventus forward is currently in Portugal, where there is a state of emergency and where citizens are obliged to stay at home and maintain social distancing.
However, the clip shows at least 18 people – including Ronaldo’s mother, Dolores Aveiro, who suffered a stroke on March 3 – gathered in a house.
The video was shared on social media and received criticism.
“When the family is in quarantine, you can celebrate your birthday well,” wrote the niece as she explained the situation.
