watching your son's matches by now.

Yes, but when it comes

to special matches, it's different.

This is the second game for Portugal

in the group stage facing the USA.

They need to win after their awful

performance against Germany.

She lives my world as well.

She lives my joy. She lives my sadness.

It's as if she plays football

and not me.

I often say there are times

when my mother looks older

because of football.

Goal!

Goal!

Portugal! Portugal!

Portugal!

It's quite complicated for a mother

to watch a son who needs to win.

I get sad.

I get worried.

And I suffer a lot.

When he gets hit,

it's like they hit me as well.

Because I've always

liked football a lot,

I wanted to have a son

who'd be a great player.

But I never thought in my life

that I'd have a son

who'd be a professional player

and be the best in the world.

Go! Go! Go! Goal!

Dinis, be quiet!

Go! Go! Go!

Now's the time. Score now, Ronaldo!

No. I'm going outside.

No. No. No.

- Pass me my flip-flops.

- But it's not... It's over now!

OK. But pass me my flip-flops!

I'm going on my own.

I'm going for a walk.

Oh, Ronaldo! Damn it!

I risked sending my son to Lisbon

when he was 12 years old

which wasn't easy at all.

I felt like I was abandoning him,

but it was for a good reason.

Because I worked hard

to raise four children.

But he was an unwanted child,

but that son gave me so much joy.

All that I have I owe to that son.

However many people turn up, you'll

always be well received, won't you?

Is that taxi over there available?

- A photo with you, please?

- The first one, yeah?

We had arrived in Portugal.

I didn't say anything to anyone,

got in a taxi and went to the hotel

because the next day I wanted to leave.

I wanted to go away on holiday.

I didn't even want to go to Portugal.

I didn't want to come to Spain.

I wanted to travel.

I wanted to go anywhere else

where I wouldn't follow it,

because I was sad.

I have no doubt that

the World Cup made my injury worse.

I feel sad.

I feel that things are not flowing.

I don't feel any improvement

in my injury.

I could have recovered by now.

If I could go back,

I wouldn't have gone to the World Cup.

Are you playing?

- It's looking hard, isn't it?

- It's you.

You're well trained.

I'm seeing if I'm lucky enough

to be able to pay you the 40 euros.

What do you mean?

You're almost like

Cristiano "King" Ronaldo.

Nah, not yet.

There's still a long way to go.

But it's getting better.

So you're pleased! Come on. Sit here.

I have to watch it, don't I?

It's only us two, right?

What's the suit?

- Spades, spades, spades.

- No, no.

Which one was it?

It's spades! Watch out for the game

or you'll lose.

Five, six, seven,

eight...

- Three...

- Four, five, six, seven.

That's it.

Ten! One, two,

three, four, five...

Seven, eight, nine, ten.

That's it. Get off.

Look. It's a draw, the game.

We both won.

We'll do the rest this afternoon,

alright?

Give me a snuggle and a kiss.

Give me a hug, my darling.

I consider myself to be

an isolated person.

I know what's best for me.

And the best for me is

I come home,

completely disconnect from the world,

media, television, football

because I know that the next day I'll be

pulled back into that world again.

I like to be quiet.

I like not feeling pressure

after training, after the games.

I like to enter my world.

I am at home.

I'm with the people I like.

I'm with my son.

And I am at peace with myself.

I have everything.

There's nothing that I don't have.

But people are always waiting

for me to make a mistake,

to accuse me, to criticize me.

It's difficult. It's very difficult.

Wait. Wait. I can see him.

I can see him.

I think I will always be observed

in a different way.

But that's part of what I have

achieved in the world of football.

Maybe when I end my career,

things will become quieter.

What name have you chosen

for this baby?

Hugo Tomas.

Are you aware that you are

obliged to educate him in the faith

so this child can keep

God's commandments?

Yes.

And you, the godparents, are you willing

to help his parents in this task?

Yes.

Hugo Tomas, the Christian community

receives you with great joy.

I do the Cross on you as a sign

of Christ the Savior.

The celebration has concluded.

Congratulations on the new Christian

in your home.

And one last thing, later, outside,

if you don't mind,

take a selfie with me. OK?

Have a picture together. Go.

Cristiano Ronaldo has lost his father.

Dinis Aveiro leaves our world

at the age of 53.

His condition deteriorated

in the month of July.

Cristiano Ronaldo booked an air

ambulance to take his dad to London,

but his kidneys and liver

couldn't hold out any longer.

Ronaldo's father drank a lot.

He had cirrhosis

and he died due to drinking.

Ronaldo did everything

he could to save his father,

but he couldn't.

I think it was because he joined

the Portuguese Colonial War in Angola

and he returned angry

because of the war.

And when he came back,

he felt very angry

and although he never mistreated

his children, he never did,

I became his victim.

My father, he was very funny

when he was drunk.

He used to tell a lot of stories.

He used to sing.

He was funny.

He was drunk nearly every day.

And when that happens,

it's not easy to have a conversation

to get to know my father a bit more.

I'm not ashamed to say it.

I didn't really get to know

my father for real, from the heart,

to open up and tell him things.

I never had those kinds of

conversations with him.

If you ask me why my father

became an alcoholic, I don't know.

Maybe he was frustrated with life.

I don't know.

I don't know and I don't care.

I feel some frustration

because obviously I wanted

a different father,

a dad who could be more present

to see my achievements.

That's what frustrates me the most.

The fact that he can't see

all my successes as a player,

as a person, as a father as well.

But I think that I managed

to handle things in his absence.

Give me five!

Ah! You tricked me.

Cristiano Ronaldo

has become the father of a boy.

The news was announced by the footballer

himself on Facebook and Twitter.

The Portuguese international

doesn't reveal the mother's name

and says he'll have

sole custody of the child.

Ronaldo announced the birth of his son

first in English and then in Portuguese

so there were no remaining doubts.

But as for the mother's identity,

not a word.

Irina Shayk is Cristiano Ronaldo's

current girlfriend,

but everything suggests that the son

is from a previous relationship.

For two hours the reporters waited

for a glimpse of the idol and his son.

It was only CR7, who left his house

to say that he was happy

but upset at the same time.

I'm happy, but you disappoint me.

You're always here disturbing me.

Always walking around the house.

And you make me upset by doing this.

Regarding the mystery surrounding

little CR's mother, not a single word.
