Ronaldo faces six-pack competition from new training ‘partner’ as Cristiano Jr joins Al-Nassr superstar in the gym

The Portuguese icon is famed for his relentless pursuit of perfection, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner having worked tirelessly to keep himself in the past possible condition. At the age of 39, he is showing no sign of slowing down on or off the pitch.

Even when he is not required to be at Al-Nassr’s training centre for collective drills, Ronaldo is reluctant to take a day off. Fortunately, he has a willing “partner” at home who is just as eager to tread a path to the very top of the game.

Cristiano Jr is now part of Al-Nassr’s academy system – having previously followed his father to Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United – and the 13-year-old is very much a chip off the old block. He has been showcasing his talents on the pitch of late, and boasts a physique off it to rival that of his famous dad.

Ronaldo will continue to push himself to the limit in 2024, with there more major silverware for him to chase down. He has helped Al-Nassr into the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League, taking his goal tally for the current campaign to 33 through 34 appearances in the process.
