The father expressed his sadness at seeing his daughter's reaction, explaining that the shirt had simply been a souvenir from a family trip to Barcelona.I did not know what to say. If the trip had been to Madrid, we would have got her a Real jersey.He continued by saying it was difficult to explain the situation to his daughter, who had spent weeks looking forward to meeting her idol.
It was painful to see the disappointment in her eyes. It was hard to explain to a 10 year old, who had spent the past two weeks getting excited about seeing her idol, why she had been shunned.
I wish I could tell Cristiano Ronaldo he has lost a fan, however insignificant it may seem.
