Cristiano Ronaldo is at the center of the storm in Portugal, and support came from where no one expected it.

Right in the center of Puebla, nearly 200 Mexicans gathered wearing the star’s jerseys and holding banners. They sang in his honor and, time and again, repeated his celebration, one every fan recognizes as soon as they see it. A giant head with his face even appeared among the crowd.

The gathering was organized because of what CR7 is going through with the national team: his departure from the squad and the controversies with coach Jorge Jesús. Thousands of kilometers from Lisboa, these fans decided to stand up for him 🇵🇹🇲🇽
