When Cristiano Ronaldo signed for Juventus in 2018, so too did his son.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, who turned ten in June, was enrolled in the Juve youth system and much like his old man, has banged in the goals.
He marked his debut by scoring four goals on his debut in a 7-1 victory over Lucento and then in April he notched a ridiculous SEVEN goals in a 25-0 win over Maritimo China in the International Maritimo Centenary Tournament - which took place in his dad's birthplace of Madeira.
In total, the youngster bagged 58 goals and 18 assists playing for Juventus Under 9's and some of his highlights are impressive.

Unsurprisingly wearing the No.7 on his back, Cristiano Jr is an accomplished dribbler with an eye for goal. He also has a strong ability when it comes to free-kicks, adopting the very same stance and technique as his dad.
The task of surpassing his father is an almighty one but he shares the same level of confidence that has got Ronaldo so far in his career.
"I hope that Cris, my son, can be like his dad," Ronaldo told beIN SPORTS, via Daily Mirror.

"He says he is going to be better [than me], but I think it's difficult.
"I am very happy to have scored, for him too. He is playing for Juventus and adapting really well - it has been easier for him than for me."
Ronaldo has also explained that his son also thrives under pressure like him.
"Yes, he also plays for Juventus, and feels the pressure and likes it," Ronaldo revealed.

"Sometimes he asks me: can I bring 2 Italian friends home? I tell him yes, then he says: but you must be here because they want to take a picture (laughs)."
