    Ronaldo Jr is working hard while his GOAT father relaxes, with the talented teenager heading to the Algarve for a training session. Portimonense welcomed him on board, with the club posting on social media: “Proud to receive the one who bears the name... and the legacy. Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. performed a training session at our stadium today.”
