- Cristiano Ronaldo’s son continues to impress within the Al Nassr academy
- The teenager scored a similar header to one of his father’s recent efforts
- Ivan Toney is ambitious and wants to win titles… you can’t begrudge him that! It all starts
Cristiano Ronaldo’s son – Cristiano Ronaldo Jnr – continues to show he is following in his father’s footsteps after scoring his latest goal for Al Nassr’s youth team.
The 13-year-old is trying to become a professional footballer like his superstar father and continues his development within Saudi Arabia’s youth academy.
Ronaldo Jnr previously played for Manchester United and Juventus youth teams, with his father’s move to Al Nassr in 2022 prompting him to switch clubs again.
The youngster was recently on hand to watch his father’s former employer Real Madrid beat Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final and was successful on the pitch himself.
Al Nassr drew a comparison between one of Ronaldo’s recent goals and his son’s header, which bulged the back of the net.

The Portuguese veteran is known as one of the greatest jumpers in football. His astonishing leap made Ronaldo one of football’s greatest aerial threats ever. His son is showing promising signs in that area.
Video footage shows Ronaldo Jr. hangs in the air after a corner kick before burying his effort with a sharp header into the bottom corner.
Another video of his father scoring a similar header for Al Nassr plays next to it and the similarities between the two goals are uncanny.
Both are then mobbed by their celebrating teammates, with Ronaldo Snr also having his famous siuuu celebration after scoring.
The latest comparison comes after Ronaldo was previously recorded demonstrating his free-kick technique to his son.
On that occasion, the teenager smashed a set-piece into the net during an individual training session with Ronaldo, before his father took over with an even better goal.
