While Cristiano Ronaldo is flourishing in Juventus’ first team, his eldest son is also driving the juventini crazy with his “father-son” style of brilliant performances.
After leaving Real Madrid to join Juventus, Ronaldo moved his whole family to Turin. His eldest son Cristiano Jr was sent to Juventus’ youth academy by the Portuguese superstar.
And on his debut for Juventus U9, Cristiano Jr. shone brightly, scoring four goals in a 5-1 victory over Lucento U9. Two goals were scored by Ronaldo’s son in the first half, and the other two in the second half.
At 34 years old, Ronaldo “father” is still playing at the top of his game. Meanwhile, his son CR7 is still showing rapid development. Let’s see how Ronaldo’s successor will perform in the future.
The Portuguese player also currently holds the record for scoring in the Champions League with 124 goals, 16 more than the second-placed Lionel Messi.

Another joy came to Ronaldo when he witnessed the wonderful performance of his eldest son – Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. (or commonly known by the nickname Cristianinho) who is showing in the Juve youth team. Specifically, in the U9 team (from 9 years old and under), this boy born in 2010 has scored 58 goals and had 17 successful assists after only 23 matches.
In his latest statement when signing a contract with internet television company DAZN, Ronaldo also talked about his dream that his son Cristiano Jr will follow in his footsteps.
“Cristiano Jr. is very competitive and he never accepts defeat, just like me when I was a kid. He will be like me when he grows up. I am 100% sure. With my experience, I can teach him a lot. But he will be free to do what he wants and I will always support him wholeheartedly.
Of course I want Cristiano Jr to pursue football. He has the right body, is fast and has a good shot.”
Little Ronaldo has natural physique, speed and technique.
Who knows, in the future, world football will witness a pair of football geniuses from the Ronaldo family like the previous famous “tiger father begets tiger son” cases such as Cesare and Paolo Maldini, Peter and Kasper Schmeichel or Patrick and Justine Kluivert,…
And above all, fans are also waiting for another equally exciting match like the two contemporary legends Ronaldo and Messi – it is a dream confrontation between sons.
CR7’s son is currently showing his talent and making many people crazy, on the contrary, M10’s son is still being kept “secret” by the Catalan legend, it is not known whether he will continue his father’s career or not.
