Cristiano Ronaldo broke down in tears last week after Piers Morgan showed him the footage of his late father he had never seen before.

Ronaldo saw the film of Jose Dinis Aveiro talking of the pride he felt for his son. In the short clip, Mr Aveiro was seen talking about Ronaldo while he stood on his doorstep.

Ronaldo, crying, said: “I never saw the video. I never saw that video. Unbelievable.” Asked by Morgan what it was that made him so upset, Ronaldo replied: “To be the number one and he doesn’t see anything. He doesn’t see me receive awards.”

Morgan then adds: “He never saw how great you became”

“Never,” Ronaldo responded. “My family see, my mum, my brothers, even my old son, but my father, he didn’t see nothing, and it was… he died young.”
