Cristiano Ronaldo has offered solidarity to those affected by wildfires in Portugal and Spain, which have claimed over 100 lives.

The Real Madrid forward, who led Portugal to Euro 2016 glory, also praised the firefighters who tackled the blaze.

In a message on Facebook, posted shortly after Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw with Tottenham in which he scored the equaliser and a minute’s applause was held to remember the victims, Ronaldo said: “It is impossible to remain indifferent to this tragedy.

“Solidarity with relatives and friends of the victims. Full support for firefighters who risk their lives to help in the best possible way.”

Late-season wildfires broke out over the weekend in Portugal, killing at least 35 people and making 2017 the deadliest year on record for forest blazes in the country after a summer blaze claimed 64 lives in one night.
