Cristiano Ronaldo Backs Son Cristiano Jr. to Surpass His Football
Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed confidence that his eldest son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., has the potential to surpass his extraordinary achievements in football, provided he develops the hunger and determination required to succeed at the highest level.
Key Highlights
- Cristiano Ronaldo believes his son has the potential to surpass his football achievements.
- Says Cristiano Jr. is physically bigger and stronger than he was at the same age.
- Insists that ambition and hunger, not physical attributes alone, determine greatness.
- Cristiano Jr. currently plays for Al Nassr’s youth team.
- Ronaldo remains the all-time leading scorer in men’s international football.
Speaking in a video shared by Netflix Sports while watching the 16-year-old train with Al Nassr’s youth team, Ronaldo noted that his son already enjoys a physical advantage he did not have as a teenager.
“When I was his age, he was a little bit bigger and stronger. I was smaller. I think he will be bigger than me,” Ronaldo said.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, however, stressed that physical development alone would not guarantee success in professional football.
Asked whether Cristiano Jr. possesses the same drive that has defined his own career, Ronaldo replied that the greatest challenge for any young player is maintaining the hunger to improve.
“Hunger is the most difficult,” he said.
Born on June 17, 2010, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. currently represents Al Nassr’s youth academy and has attracted global attention as he follows in the footsteps of one of football’s greatest players.
Now 41, Ronaldo has built one of the most successful careers in football history, winning 36 major trophies with Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Al Nassr, and the Portugal national team.
His honours include five UEFA Champions League titles, five Ballon d’Or awards, the UEFA Euro 2016 championship, two UEFA Nations League titles, and league championships in England, Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo also holds the record as the all-time leading goalscorer in men’s international football.
Despite those accomplishments, the Portuguese legend believes his son can achieve even greater success if he combines his physical talent with discipline, commitment and an unwavering desire to improve.
