It is not the first urban legend to which Cristiano Ronaldo is the subject and probably not the last: the entourage of the player must have denied a rumor that CR7 would have transformed its hotels in Portugal into treatment spaces for people contaminated by the coronavirus. The story is beautiful, but sounds a bit wrong. And still, most of the info remains to come: according to the rumor, Cristiano Ronaldo has undertaken to cover the salary of nurses and doctors as well as the operating costs. A little more and he was paying off Portugal's debt.

Cristiano Ronaldo hotels will become hospitals starting next week where people with coronavirus in Portugal can be treated for free. Ronaldo will pay the doctors and the workers! ❤ 🙏

In addition to the denial of Ronaldo's family at the Gazzetta dello Sport, the Pestana group, which manages the player's hotels, has also swept the rumor with a backhand. Too late, the fake news has already been relayed thousands of times. What is true, however, is that the Portuguese called on his fans to respect the health guidelines related to the coronavirus.
