Cristiano Ronaldo has thanked Liverpool fans for their minute's applause during the 4-0 victory over Manchester United on Tuesday.
Reds supporters joined the tribute to Ronaldo, who missed the Red Devils' defeat following the death of his new-born son on Monday.
Applause rang around Anfield from both sets of fans in the seventh minute and the home faithful chanted 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.
Reacting on Thursday, the 37-year-old said on Instagram: "Me and my family will never forget this moment of respect and compassion.
"One world… One sport… One global family… Thanks, Anfield."
Speaking after the match, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp described the tribute as his 'moment of the match'.
The German said: “Pure class in the moment where everyone knows since yesterday so many things are much more important in life. That was my moment of the game.”
Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodriguez were expecting twins - and took solace from the birth of their daughter.
“It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away,” the couple’s emotional statement read.
“It is the greatest pain that any parent can feel.
“Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.
“We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all their expert care and support. We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time.
“Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.”
