While Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo was crying in Al-Thumama stadium after the 1-0 defeat by Morocco in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar, his mother was leaving the stadium sad, preferring to stay in the car until the rest of her family attended.

Maria Dolores Aveiro, Ronaldo's mother, watched the match from the stands of the VIP visitors, and left minutes after the end of the match after she saw her son crying after the defeat and the exit from the World Cup.

And Ronaldo's mother went out with a man who I think was a member of her family and the great sadness was evident on her face, to the extent that she did not respond to my question about her feeling after Portugal's defeat in the last World Cup - most likely - that her son might go through. sad."

The funny thing is that she remained sad until she asked to take a picture with her, so she smiled while taking it, then her face returned to frown again, and she got into the car with her companion who was wearing the Portugal shirt, and the car remained in place for a long time until the rest of her companions who I did not recognize joined her.

Ziyech's family is happy

And I met the family of Moroccan star Hakim Ziyech while she was leaving the stadium after the match, consisting of two women and 3 children, all wearing Moroccan shirts and carrying its flags, and happiness on their faces.

The rest of the families of the Moroccan national team players, who attended almost all of them to watch the matches from the stadium, did not differ, as they were filled with joy and celebrated inside and outside the stadium as well.
