Genes don’t lie! Cristiano Ronaldo (40, Al Nassr) is passing the torch to his eldest son.
The Portuguese Football Federation announced on the 6th the selection of 22 players for the U15 national team that will participate in a youth tournament to be held in Croatia in May. Among them, Ronaldo's eldest son, Ronaldo Jr., was also included.
The 14-year-old Ronaldo Jr. has reportedly grown rapidly in height recently. He is expected to reach a height similar to that of his father, who is 187 cm tall. As soon as his son was selected for the national team, Ronaldo shared on his social media, “Proud of my son.”
Father Ronaldo is a legend in Portugal. He holds the record for the most goals scored in international matches, with an impressive 136 goals for the Portuguese national team. Notably, he led Portugal to its first championship victory in history at Euro 2016.
Now, the son has also been able to pursue his father's dreams. Despite the tremendous pressure of being known as “Ronaldo’s son,” Ronaldo Jr. is dreaming of becoming a professional football player.
