Ronaldo opens up on death of newborn son

Cristiano Ronaldo said the death of his newborn son in April was "the most difficult moment" of his life.

In the latest excerpt of his interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV, the 37-year-old spoke about more personal moments having heavily criticised Manchester United in previous clips.

Ronaldo's girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez gave birth to twins earlier this year but while his daughter Bella survived, Angel tragically died.

And the Portuguese said he cannot understand why it happened to his family.

Ronaldo said on Piers Morgan Uncensored: "Probably the worst moments that I passed through my life, since my father died, when you have a kid that you expect that everything will be normal, and you have that problem, it's... it's hard, you know, as a human being.

"Georgina, we had quite difficult moments because we don't understand why it happened to us. It was difficult to be honest, was very, very difficult to understand what's going on, in that period of our life.

"As you know, football carries on, so fast, many competitions, football doesn't stop. We had many, many competitions. And that moment was probably the most difficult moment that I have had in my life. Me and my family, especially Gio, that was tough."

Ronaldo admitted he had conflicted emotions with only one of the twins surviving.

"You don't know what to do, to be honest."

Ronaldo added: "It's crazy. I tried to explain sometimes to my family and even my close friends. I say, I never felt to be happy and sad in the same moment. I never felt it. It is hard to explain.

"So difficult. You don't know if you cry or you don't know if you smile. Because it's something that... you don't know how to react. You don't know what to do, to be honest."
