Aveiro took to Instagram to post that her mother had considered abortion before giving birth to one of the greatest footballers of all time.
She tweeted: “Dolores wanted to have an abortion. But something stopped her at the last minute, and that baby was born. 39 years ago, Mother Dolores made the decision.”
Ronaldo became the first male footballer in history to play 200 international games and went on to score the only goal in the 1-0 victory over Iceland in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying match.
