Cristiano Ronaldo's son, Cristiano Ronaldo Junior, is back imitating his dad with another four goals for Juventus' youth team. He's still got a long way to go to win five Ballon d'Ors though.

Living up to expectations can be very difficult, especially the ones placed on you by your family, but when your name is Cristiano Ronaldo Jnr and your dad is one of the best footballers ever then there's certainly added pressure.

There has been many footballers who have followed in their father's footsteps, some with success and others with less so but when you carry the same name as your dad the pressure is likely to be even worse.

Cristiano Ronaldo Junior, much like his dad, joined Italian giants Juventus in the summer and although he's not quite to his dad's standards just yet he's started pretty well.

Earlier in the season the youngster borrowed something from his papi's locker by knocking in four goals in a game, and he's been back at it.

At the weekend 'Junior,' playing for the under 9s, did it again notching up another four in one game for the Old Lady (if the under 9s aren't nicknamed the Young Lady then something is wrong):

He might not even have reached double figures yet but the son of the five time Ballon d'Or winner already knows how to take a mean free kick, obviously he would he gets to learn from someone pretty good at them:

It's not that long ago that senior predicted big things for his son's football career, saying, "Cristiano Junior is very competitive.

"He is like me when I was a kid. He doesn't like to lose. He will become like me, I'm 100% sure."

Dad hasn't exactly missed a beat since moving from Real Madrid to Juventus in the summer. The former Manchester United forward has scored nine goals in Serie A and picked up five assists already this season.

If the older Ronaldo goes a couple of years into his 40s then maybe he'll end up on the pitch with his son, we can only hope.
