Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to dedicate a goal to his son after scoring again in Al-Nassr’s 3-0 win over Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League.
The superstar was seen holding up three fingers in a touching gesture and pointing them towards where his son, Cristiano Jr., was sitting in the stands.
Ronaldo took charge of Stefano Pioli’s side in his first match as manager and had the chance to score from the penalty spot in the first half.
Unsurprisingly, the 39-year-old kept his composure and converted the ball from 11 yards out, before speeding away to share a heartwarming moment with his son.
Ronaldo ran to the stands and pointed at Cristiano Jr, 14 years old. With a big smile on his face, he held up three fingers.

Cristiano Jr., Ronaldo’s eldest child, was seen smiling after his father’s touching gesture
According to ESPN, Ronaldo’s gesture came after his son scored two goals for Al-Nassr’s youth team earlier in the day, making it a hat-trick together.
The youngster scored for the club’s Under-15s in a 4-0 win over Al Qadsiah and just hours later he watched his father put his own opponents to the sword.
Ultimately, Ronaldo had to settle for just one goal, with Salem Al-Najdi and Talisca scoring the decisive goal in the second half to secure victory.
Cristiano Jr. is tipped to have a great career at the top level, having played in Saudi Arabia since his father moved to the kingdom two years ago.
The teenager also played for Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United, following in his father’s footsteps.
However, Ronaldo Sr. has no plans to force him to continue his legacy.
