Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has announced the birth of his fourth child. The Los Blancos front man and his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez have had a baby girl. CR7 made the announcement via a live video on social media website Instagram. He said that he had chosen the first name and Georgina had decided the second name.
“The name of my daughter will be Alana Martina. I just want to share this with you, I think it’s a beautiful name and thank you.”
News of the birth broke late on Sunday evening. It is reported to have been a routine delivery and both mother and baby are doing well. Alana Martina is Ronaldo’s fourth child, joining twins Eva Maria and Mateo, along with his first born, Cristiano Jr.
Georgina’s due date was November 21st but the birth was brought forward because of the convenience of the international break. Ronaldo had no football commitments with Real Madrid and was allowed a leave of absence by the Portugal national team. This is a stark contrast to when he stayed with Portugal for the Confederations Cup when his twins were born.
Stress Free Ronaldo Ready To Fire?
There is a theory that the impending birth may have been affecting Cristiano Ronaldo’s on-pitch performances. Stats of 8 goals in 13 games in all competitions would not be too shabby for most players but this is Ronaldo. He has only scored once in La Liga and has so far fallen short of his own benchmark this season.
Now that his baby has arrived, perhaps we’ll see him back to his best. Saturday’s Madrid derby is a must win encounter. Barcelona already hold an 8 point advantage as at the top of the table and Atletico are level with Real on points. It’s unlikely that second-placed Valencia will last the pace but Real cannot afford to lose any further ground. It would be fitting then, if Ronaldo scored the match-winning goal to celebrate the birth of Alana Martina.
