Cristiano Ronaldo’s son watched from the stands on Sunday evening as Real Madrid dominated Barcelona in El Clasico.
The youngster, who no doubt supported his father’s former side, appeared heavily invested in the game as he watched intently.
Fans around him soon became aware and started filming the 13-year-old.
His father was also seen entering the ground, but managed to avoid the cameras as the game progressed.
Vinicius Jr scored a first-half hat-trick as Real Madrid were crowned Spanish Super Cup champions in Saudi Arabia on Sunday after a 4-1 defeat to bitter rivals Barcelona.

Real dominated every aspect of the match, playing with last year’s champions unable to cope with Vinicius, finishing the game with 10 men after defender Ronald Araujo was sent off for a second yellow card in the 71st minute after two fouls on the Brazilian.
Ronaldo Jr and his father will have left with a smile on their faces after seeing the demolition.
“I didn’t expect us to score three so quickly, but we took advantage of their high defensive line tonight with an inspired Vinicius,” Real manager Carlo Ancelotti told Movistar Plus.
‘It was a difficult match, the result seems too much for the way Barcelona played. At 3-1 it was even equal. At 4-1 they dropped their arms a bit. We are happy.’

Ancelotti was kind to Barcelona, who could have suffered an even bigger defeat after a dismal second half in which they failed to score a single shot on target.
The loss will increase pressure on Barcelona manager Xavi, who has faced criticism from fans and media unhappy with the team’s form.
They sit fourth in the LaLiga standings with 41 points, eight behind leaders Girona and seven behind second-place Real Madrid.
