Cristiano Ronaldo’s son was at the double for Al-Nassr’s U13s as his incredible start to his youth career with the Saudi Pro League giants continued.
Ronaldo Jr netted a brace in Al-Nassr U13’s 4-1 win against Al-Fateh on Friday (October 27). The 13-year-old followed in the footsteps of his father last year by joining the Saudi club’s academy last year.
‘Cristianinho’ made his debut for Al-Alami U13s in a 6-0 win against Al Qadsiah a week ago. He displayed his electric pace and silky skills in that victory with his stepmom Georgina Rodriguez watching on from the stands.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr went one better and conjured up a goalscoring performance against Al-Fateh. It draws similarities to the many his father has enjoyed throughout his illustrious career.
He is proving to be a prolific youngster, having already excelled at Manchester and Juventus’ academies previously. The Portuguese teenager once found the net 58 times in just 28 games for the Serie A club’s U9s, per The Bussiness Insider.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr was joined on the scoresheet by teammates Mubarak Almasrahi and Meshal Alamri in the win against Al-Fateh.
However, fans’ plaudits have all gone towards the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s son following his brace. One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“Cristiano Jr scoring just like his dad.”
Another fan reckons the Al-Nassr U13 forward is in the beginning stages of becoming an all-time great like his father:
