Cristiano Ronaldo’s Uncle Recovering After Being Hit by Car in Jersey
Cristiano Ronaldo’s uncle, Jorge Viveiros, experienced a harrowing incident on Wednesday when he was struck by a car while riding his motorbike.
The unfortunate accident happened in Saint Helier, the bustling capital of the island of Jersey, where Viveiros was hit by the vehicle under unclear circumstances.
According to reports from Jornal da Madeira, emergency services quickly arrived at the scene to provide assistance.
Firefighters were among the first responders and played a vital role in attending to Viveiros.
After stabilizing him on-site, he was rushed to the hospital for further evaluation and medical care.
The severity of the situation initially caused concern, but after spending time under observation, Viveiros was discharged and allowed to return home to recover.
Jorge Viveiros is the brother of Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother, Dolores Aveiro, and is known to have a strong bond with the family.
Ronaldo, who has always expressed deep affection for his family, would understandably have been distressed upon hearing about the accident.
The star footballer often speaks about how his upbringing in Madeira and his family have shaped his life and career, with his mother being a particularly influential figure.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo has been intensely focused on his football commitments.
Ronaldo is currently preparing for Al-Nassr’s next Saudi Pro League match against Al-Qadsia on Friday.
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
Former Manchester City player David Silva has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or and revealed who he believes could win the prestigious award.
During a recent interview, the former midfielder was asked who he thinks will win the award, and he named Fabian Ruiz.
Silva’s choice sparked reactions from fans, especially as he did not mention Barcelona star Lamine Yamal as one of his picks.
“For me, teamwork is the most important thing, because without it you cannot win. If I had to give the Ballon d’Or to someone, it would be Fabian, because he has won the most titles in the last two years.
“He does not get enough recognition, I do not know why, because he is a wonderful player. I admire him a lot.”
Cristiano Ronaldo’s future with the Portugal national team remains uncertain following his sudden departure from the squad ahead of the team’s Nations League match against Denmark.
The 41-year-old forward left the national team camp after he was left on the bench during Portugal’s 2-1 win over Norway and was informed that he would not start against Denmark. Ronaldo later said he would explain his decision to leave the camp at a later time.
Portugal coach Jorge Jesus has since said the door remains open for Ronaldo to return to the national team. Jesus said the decision ultimately rests with Ronaldo, while the Portuguese Football Federation has also described the situation as a misunderstanding.
Ronaldo remains Portugal’s all-time leading scorer, with 146 goals in 234 appearances, and his next decision could determine how his international career ends.
