Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo shared a lighthearted moment with his son, Cristiano Jr, during Al Nassr’s recent match against Al-Ettifaq, where the superstar took center stage. Leading the attack for his team, Ronaldo was awarded a penalty, which he confidently converted, giving Al Nassr a 1-0 lead.
What drew attention, however, was not just his goal but his celebration. After scoring, the 39-year-old sprinted towards the stands where his son was watching the game. Cristiano Jr had reason to celebrate himself after an impressive performance earlier in the day. Playing for Al Nassr’s under-15 team, the young starlet scored twice in a 4-0 victory over Al Qadsiah.
With a beaming smile, Ronaldo gestured towards his son, playfully pointing at him and raising three fingers, indicating that he aimed to surpass his son’s two-goal feat. Despite Ronaldo’s efforts and Al Nassr’s 3-0 victory over Al-Ettifaq, he couldn’t add any more goals to his tally, leaving his son with bragging rights for the day.
The moment highlighted the strong football genes within the Ronaldo family, with Cristiano Jr showing that he may be on his way to following in his father’s legendary footsteps.
