Cristiano Ronaldo was left in an unexpected situation when he was forced to cancel his children’s registration at Saint Julian’s school.
Bad luck is following Ronaldo. Al Nassr’s homepage announced that Ronaldo has health problems and will not play in the match against Al Shorta in the first round of the 2024/25 AFC Champions League. “Al Nassr captain Ronaldo is feeling unwell today after suffering a viral infection. The team doctor confirmed that Ronaldo will have to rest and will not be able to play,” Al Nassr’s announcement said.
Not only was he forced to be an involuntary spectator, the striker who had just scored 901 goals in his illustrious playing career also suffered a painful blow behind the scenes. More specifically, Cristiano Ronaldo enrolled his children in the famous Saint Julian school in Carcavelos, near Cascais. But shortly after, the star who had won the Ballon d’Or five times was forced to change his mind.
Saint Julian School opened on November 24, 1932, and was founded by Jose Francisco da Cruz, a trusted subordinate of King D.Jose I. Saint Julian School has more than 1,200 students, from 3 to 18 years old. Nearly half of the students at Saint Julian School are Portuguese, the rest are British and from many other countries. Ronaldo enrolled his children here to make it easier to travel when his family moves to live in the 21 million euro villa under construction in Cascais.
But it seems that Cristiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez have had to withdraw their decision to send their children to school in Portugal due to opposition from the parents of the students there. This was revealed by journalist Adriano Silva Martins in a TV program in Portugal: “Although the couple visited the school and expressed their interest, the registration process was not smooth. Some parents did not want the school to be the center of the media and strongly opposed the children of a celebrity like Cristiano Ronaldo enrolling here.”
