Cr7' Armband Sells For £50k To Fund Child’s Treatment For Spinal Disorder by SyrusdeHansome(m): 7:42pm On Apr 02, 2021
Cristiano Ronaldo ’s captain’s armband was sold
at an auction for more than £50,000 this week,
helping to raise funds for the treatment of a
Serbian child’s spinal disorder.
Portugal forward Ronaldo threw the armband to
the turf upon being controversially denied an
added-time winner in a World Cup qualifying
match against Serbia on 27 March.
Portugal would draw the game in Belgrade 2-2,
with firefighter Djordje Vukicevic picking up the
armband after Ronaldo stormed off .
“Ronaldo was agitated,” Vukicevic is quoted by
the BBC as having said. “He threw the armband.
It fell right next to me.”
Vukicevic auctioned off the armband to raise
money for the treatment of six-month-old
Gavrilo Djurdjevic’s spinal muscular atrophy.
The winning bid came in at €64,000 –
approximately £54,000.


“The entire [firefighting] crew agreed this will
go for little Gavrilo,” Vukicevic said.
Gavrilo’s mother Nevena said: “We could not
believe that some people who do not even know
us [...] would take the armband, auction it and
help our child.”

Good news for the sick child. Indeed, God works in mysterious ways.
