Ronaldo Jr is hoping to play alongside his dad in the future
CRISTIANO RONALDO JR could easily be mistaken for his superstar dad with his latest video.
The 13-year-old scored a stunning free-kick in a training session with Chelsea youth prospect Yahya Idrissi.

Ronaldo Jr was filmed out on the training pitch practising his set pieces against a mannequin wall.
And he impressively slammed a free-kick straight into the top corner just as his dad has been known to do throughout his career.
The video was posted online by Idrissi, who is part of Chelsea’s academy set-up after signing from West Ham back in 2021.
Ronaldo Jr on the other hand plies his trade at dad Cristiano’s club Al-Nassr.
The youngster signed for the Saudi Arabian outfit’s academy last October after his dad joined the Middle East club.

I could very well see him playing on the men’s team at 17-18 years old. Would be a great starting point for his growth and I think he wants to start with sporting this isn’t the 1st time we have seen him a SCP kit pic.twitter.com/kplrHV1v5w

Ronaldo’s mini-me has followed him around Europe prior to his latest move and has represented some of the best youth teams in top level football.
He has played at Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus.
But despite being able to score incredible free-kicks like his dad, Ronaldo Sr isn’t putting too much pressure on his first born to succeed on the pitch.
Speaking in 2022, he said: “I will never pressure him. He will do what he wants.
“Also what I want the most for Cristianito and everyone else is that they’re happy and that they choose what they want. I will support in any way.”
But Cristiano Jr has his sights set on making it pro and even wants to grace the pitch alongside his five time Ballon d’Or winning father.
The Portugal international said: “My son tells me: dad, hold on a few more years, I want to play with you!”
