Cristiano Ronaldo gives some of Champions League cash to Christian charity

The Real Madrid forward earned a win bonus of €600,000 (almost £500,000) after he scored the winning penalty in his team's final against Atletico Madrid.

It has been reported that he has donated all of the money to good causes with World Vision among the benefactors.

Other charities receiving money include Unicef and Save the Children.

World Vision said: "Our faith in Jesus is central to who we are, and we follow His example in working alongside the poor and oppressed.

"We serve every child in need that we possibly can, of any faith, or none.

"We partner with churches throughout the world, equipping them to meet the needs of their communities."

The charity did not reveal exactly how much of the cash would be given to them.

Ronaldo, 31, is known for donating large sums of money and last year was named the world's most charitable sportsperson.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
