Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has donated 7 million euros to help the aid effort in Nepal, according to reports in France.

French sports magazine So Foot said the 30-year-old forward handed the sum of money to the charitable organisation Save the Children, which is helping survivors of the earthquake that struck the Asian country last month, reports the Mail Online.

Last month Ronaldo also called upon his vast Facebook following of over 100 million people to donate to the children's charity.

It is by no means the first charitable act by Ronaldo, who is believed to have paid for a 10-month old boy to have brain surgery last year.
