Football fans in Lisbon were unsurprised after Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo tested positive Covid-19, saying it simply showed everyone was at risk of getting infected - and famous athletes were no exception.
Portugal's Football Federation said in a statement on Tuesday the 35-year-old Juventus forward was asymptomatic and would miss Wednesday's UEFA Nations League game against Sweden as he self-isolates.
In Portugal's capital Lisbon, not too far from the football facility where Ronaldo is, fans were not shocked by the news.
"We are all human beings," said Antonio Rodrigues while standing outside a food market in one of Lisbon's neighbourhoods. "It is not because he is Ronaldo that the dynamic of the situation is different."
Walking with a portable oxygen concentrator, 74-year-old Fernando Marques shared the same view: "Ronaldo is no more than the others - he is a good player, with a lot of money, but we are all the same."
