I've paid £3.2k for son to see hero Cristiano Ronaldo NOT play – it's costing an arm and a leg

A LAD'S dream to see his hero Cristiano Ronaldo play has been thwarted three times — and cost his desperate dad £3,250.
The determined pair endured a hat-trick of heartache in their bid.

Each time that Chris Broome, 43, splashed out for himself and son Zac, 12, the Portuguese star — famous for his "Siu" goal celebrations — has been injured or benched.
In 2020 he paid £1,550 to watch Ron at Juventus but the ace was rested.
In March Chris spent £1,500 on hospitality and hotels for the Manchester derby which Ronaldo, 37, missed through injury.
And despite free tickets for Man Utd v Leicester on Saturday, Ronaldo was missing again.
Chris, of Yatton, Somerset, said: "It's costing an arm and a leg.
"I promised Zac I will take him to see Ronaldo play, so I'll make that happen come what may."
