Like father, like son! Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, and son Cristiano Jr, 14, show off their matching ripped physiques as they cause social media stir

Cristiano Ronaldo and his son Cristiano Jr proudly showed off their matching ripped physiques as they posed together for a photo. Ronaldo sported a bare-bodied look alongside his son, who will turn 15 next week, and shared the picture on Instagram to his 657 million followers. The post, accompanied by the caption 'Tal pai tal filho', which translates as 'like father, like son' has already been liked over three million times. Clad in red shorts, Ronaldo tensed for the camera, revealing he remains shredded even at the age of 40, while his son, wearing blue shorts, followed suit. An aspiring footballer, Cristiano Jr is keen to follow in the footsteps of his father, who recently broke down in tears after winning the Nations League with Portugal. There was more success in the Ronaldo household when Cristiano Jr was capped by Portugal's U-15s for the first time, wearing the No 7 shirt made famous by his dad. Ronaldo said he was 'very proud' of his eldest son after he made his debut during the 4-1 win over Croatia in the Vlatko Markovic International Tournament. The talented 14-year-old was cheered on by his grandmother Dolores Aveiro, Ronaldo's mother, and was also reportedly watched by scouts from Manchester United and several other elite European clubs, including Tottenham. Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo said on Instagram: 'Congratulations on your debut for Portugal, son. Very proud of you.' Cristiano Jr later scored twice for Portugal in the final of the tournament and celebrated just like his dad, wheeling off to perform the iconic leap and 'siu' shout. Ronaldo has made no secret of his desire to play on the same pitch as his son one day, but he also stressed he would not pressure him. 'I would like it, I would like it,' said Ronaldo. 'It's not something that keeps me awake at night but we'll see. It's more in his hands than mine. 'The years are starting to go by and one day I'll have to let it go. There will come a time when it is no longer possible. Not only physically but also psychologically.'
