Fresh off Portugal’s triumphant UEFA Nations League campaign, Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted hitting the gym—this time with his proudest training partner: his teenage son, Cristiano Jr.
The 40‑year‑old Al‑Nassr star recently captained Portugal to the Nations League title, scoring in the final against Spain as they won on penalty shootouts and cementing his place as the first captain to lift the trophy twice.
In a heartfelt social post, Ronaldo celebrated a “like father, like son” moment while working out alongside Jr, who showed off his lean physique under the watch of his legendary father. Fans couldn’t help but notice the physical resemblance—and Jr’s impressive height, with many pointing out that he may already be taller than his dad.
Just weeks earlier, Cristiano Jr., aged 14, proudly made his debut for Portugal’s Under‑15 side. He featured in the Vlatko Marković tournament in Croatia, competing against youth sides from Japan, Greece and England.
Portugal went all the way, and Jr didn’t just participate—he made his mark, scoring a brace in the final and even performing his father’s signature “Siu” celebration twice.
Ronaldo Sr. was beaming with pride, posting on social media: “Congratulations on your debut by @selecaoportugal, son. Very proud of you!”. The young forward currently plays in the Al‑Nassr academy and has previously trained in the youth systems of Manchester United, Juventus and Real Madrid—mirroring his father’s career path.
