his condolences to the Royal Family, describing the Queen’s demise as an
irreplaceable loss.
The 37-year-old Portugal captain posted a black and white
picture of the Queen with the caption: “Seven years of my career were played in
the Premier League, making this my 8th season living in England.
“Throughout these years, I’ve felt the everlasting love of the UK for it’s Queen and how important Her Majesty was and will forever be to the British people.
“I pay my respect to her memory and I mourn this
irreplaceable loss with the country that I’ve learned to call home. My thoughts
and prayers are with the Royal Family.”
The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral Castle on Thursday,
ending a remarkable reign of more than 70 years.
