Cristiano Ronaldo invites injured Venezuelan boy to watch his game

Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a message of support to Andrés Mieles, a young Venezuelan boy who was seriously injured in earthquakes that struck on June 24. Ronaldo invited the boy to attend one of his matches when he recovers.

In a video message, the captain of the Portuguese national team told Andrés, "Hello Andrés, how are you? I'm making this video to send you a hug. I know you're a super fan. When you get better, I want to invite you to see one of my games to enjoy."

The story of Andrés, who lost his family and had a leg amputated after the 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes, went viral. After his rescue, he mentioned that one of his wishes was to have Cristiano Ronaldo's sticker from the Panini World Cup album.

Venezuelan content creator Armando Poyo personally showed the video message to Andrés at the hospital where he is being treated. In another video, the boy is seen in his hospital bed holding the Cristiano Ronaldo sticker, smiling as a nurse comforts him.
