  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Ronaldo Jr recently made his debut for the U15 side and has been taking part in the Vlatko Markovic international tournament being held in Croatia this week. On what was only his fourth appearance for Portugal, the son of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner netted a brace in a 3-2 win over the hosts, getting his hands on silverware in the process. His first was a first-time strike that flew in off the crossbar, while his second was a header into an unguarded net.

  • WHAT RONALDO SAID

    Cristiano was clearly impressed with his son's contributions, reposting the video to his Instagram story with three 'fire' emojis as the caption.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Ronaldo Jr will be hoping his performances for the national side will work in his favour when it comes to following in his dad's footsteps. Manchester United have reportedly been scouting the young forward but it remains to be seen whether he can reach the same level as his iconic father.

  • WHAT NEXT?

    While Ronaldo Jr is thriving for his country, Ronaldo senior's future is up in the air. After missing out on the AFC Champions League with Al-Nassr, the veteran goal-scorer could find himself a new adventure away from Saudi Arabia this summer.
