Al-Nassr and Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo is a proud dad as his eldest son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., receives his first-ever call-up to a national team after an impressive performance with Al-Nassr juniors.
The 14-year-old will participate in the forthcoming Vlatko Markovic Youth Tournament in Croatia, scheduled to take place from May 13-18. Portugal U-15s will play Japan, Greece, and England in their group.
On the other hand, his father, Cristiano Ronaldo, remains active in football, playing for both his club (Al Nassr) and country (Portugal) with outstanding stats in both competitions.
Ronaldo, 40, couldn’t hide his joy upon hearing the news and proudly expressed how proud he is of his son, sharing the national team list that included his son on his Instagram page.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner holds records for the most goals (140) and assists (42) in the Champions League, the most goals (14) and assists (8) in the European Championship, and the most international appearances (219) and international goals (136).
Ronaldo had revealed that it would be a pleasure for him to share pitch with his son showing trust in his progress.
“I would like to play with my 14-year-old son, but we’ll see, it depends more on me than on him.” the former Manchester United star said.
