Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus have gone one step further this week, by surprising a team of Cuban medics working in Turin with signed shirts.
Ronaldo surprised medical workers this week
Italy was hit hard by coronavirus very early on and the Serie A club have decided to say thank you in the form of some very special gifts.
“Italian football club Juventus sent a team shirt signed by star player Cristiano Ronaldo to every Cuban medic working in Turin to help fight coronavirus,” a tweet from CubaSolidarity reads.

“Ronaldo and team manager Maurizio Sarri wanted to thank them in person, but COVID-19 restrictions made this impossible.”
What a wonderful gesture.
According to The Sun, groups of doctors from Cuba have been deployed across the world – to 35 different countries – to help tackle coronavirus.
Some were sent to Turin as the city was hit particularly hard by the outbreak and those are the ones Ronaldo has sent signed shirts to.
But that’s not the only positive thing CR7 has done during the pandemic.
He also forgo £3.8m in wages to help Juventus stay afloat and also teamed up with agent Jorge Mendes to donate £1m to hospitals in Portugal to fight the virus.
