“Congratulations to Portugal,” Georgina wrote on Instagram on November 6 after Portugal’s 6-1 win. “While the 11 players sang the anthem, all the goals went to you. What a shame he couldn’t enjoy the best player in the world for 90 minutes. The fans kept calling for you and shouting your name. I hope God and your dear friend Fernando hold hands and rock us one more night.”

However, Georgina, 28, who shares daughters Alana5, and bella8 months, as well as a son, Angelwho died with the footballer, was not the only one to react to the 37-year-old’s withdrawal from the starting line-up.
