Like father, like son.

Cristiano Ronaldo sensationally swapped Real Madrid for Juventus in a deal worth £100 million, and his son has reportedly joined him at the Serie A outfit.

His son, Ronaldo Junior, is just like his old man.


The Portuguese international captured the brilliant footage of his son scoring a goal for his team, and you can tell it's his boy.

Ronaldo recently said of his son: "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."

This should have many Juventus supporters hopeful that Ronaldo's son can match the ability of his father.

Though that would take some doing.

What's more, it's not the only father-son dynamic going on at the side.

Defender Andrea Barzagli and his son, Mattia, are both playing for Juventus at different levels, while veteran midfielder Claudio Marchisio's Davide was in there youth setup, until his father moved on.

Back to current affairs, Miralem Pjanic made an interesting revelation about Ronaldo on Juventus free-kicks.

"Cristiano is here now, someone who in the past few years has shown he is best in the world," he is quoted as saying by Di Marzio.

"At first when we trained on free kicks it would either be me or Dybala to take it. Now, it's 100% him. He is a tremendous free kick taker."

Ronaldo, meanwhile, has attempted 14 shots in two games for his new club but is still yet to get off the mark competitively. He will hoping to break the duck in Juventus' next game, against Parma on Saturday.
