Cristiano's oldest son took the opportunity to celebrate like his dad, too, as he performed a great "Siuuu" that got fans and teammates excited and hunger for more. And he was far from done, as he scored again in the 43rd minute, after heading home a precise cross from the right wing.
The goals got mixed reviews in social media, with some fans saying that the moves were not impressive. "Two easiest tap ins. Doing just like his father, I'm not moved," posted an X user. "The last match a kid scored a hat-trick and we didn't hear about him," said another one."If the boy was not Ronaldo's son, would you be posting about him?" wrote someone else.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr's journey to greatness
However, Wearing the iconic No. 7 jersey, just like his father, Ronaldo Jr. started in the final match of the competition and wasted no time making an impact.
In the 13th minute, he found the back of the net with a composed finish -- and followed it up with a flawless "Siuuu" celebration that drew cheers from teammates and fans alike.
He wasn't done there, adding a second goal in the 43rd minute with a powerful header from a cross delivered from the right.
The Portugal Football Federation celebrated the moment with a post reading, "Like father. Like son," accompanied by a touching father-son illustration.
He's shown promise, including 58 goals in a season for Juventus youth team, which is one of the reasons why a lot of clubs and international teams have shown interest for the teenager.
He will need to develop his game if he wants to make a name for himself at the club level.
He has the best example at home - his father's accolades include five Ballon d'Or awards, five Champions League titles, and being the all-time leading goalscorer in men's international football. That and the fact that he lead the Portugal men's team to win the Euro 2016.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., a 14-year-old young promise, began his career in youth academies at Juventus (Italy) and Manchester United (England), and then moved to Al-Nassr (Saudi Arabia) when his father signed with the club, in December 2022.
