Most of the time footballers have their skills from an early age and there's plenty of stories of former school mates being destroyed by a now famous classmate. Cristiano Ronaldo Jnrs pals will have some of these stories one day.
I went to school with Sporting Gijon striker Nick Blackman. The forward was a couple of years below me but our paths did cross occasionally on the playground when playing football at lunch or break.
No disrespect to Nick, after all he's a professional footballer and I'm merely an average sports writer at best, but he's not exactly a world class player and yet it was clear on the playground how much better than the rest of us he was.

Now imagine being destroyed by a future Premier League winner or World Cup winner on a daily basis, as the 'dinner ladies' scream 'megssss!' at you for being 'nutmegged' for the 15th time that afternoon.
Cristiano Ronaldo's former schoolmates are probably still getting therapy to get over being beaten by the five time Ballon d'Or time and time again.
Now it's time to also feel sorry for the classmates of Cristiano Ronaldo Jnr because the Juventus youngster is clearly taking the mick out of his peers.
Speaking about his son recently the Real Madrid all time top goalscorer said, "I hope that Cris, my son, can be like his dad.

"He says he is going to be better (than me), but I think it's difficult."
I mean I want to claim that Ronaldo is being a little bit arrogant, and offensive to his own kin, but let's be real for a minute, it is highly unlikely that Ronaldo Jnr will match or even better his dad, because barely anyone ever has.
And it's not the first time the mini version has destroyed his peers.
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.
How far will Ronaldo Jnr go?
