At only 14 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. currently plays as a forward for Al-Nassr FC U15 in Saudi Arabia and recently made his debut for the Portugal U-15 national team.
On the contrary, Lamine Yamal is considered Spain and Barcelona's upcoming golden boy at just 17 years old. He plays professionally for both teams.
According to Goal, Yamal has garnered 18 goals and 25 assists across all competitions. However, while his performance across the board has been nothing but positive, Cristiano Ronaldo has urged the media and fans to keep expectations realistic for Yamal, reminding them he's still a kid with a long career ahead, setting a healthy example for future footballers, including his 14-year-old son.

Dramatic late goals and penalty triumph hand PSG first UEFA Super Cup
AMMAN — Paris Saint-Germain became the first French side to lift the UEFA Super Cup after a dramatic 4-3 penalty shoot-out win over Tottenham Hotspur in Italy on Wednesday, following a 2-2 draw in normal time at the Bluenergy Stadium. Tottenham were the sharper side for much of the contest, dominating the first hour and striking twice through Micky van de Ven in the 39th minute and Cristian Romero's header from a set piece early in the second half. Richarlison also came close on two occasions before Van de Ven pounced on a rebound to break the deadlock. Romero's goal, assisted by Pedro Porro, doubled the advantage shortly after the restart. PSG struggled to create clear chances for long spells but a quadruple substitution from coach Luis Enrique changed the momentum. Substitute Lee Kang-in pulled one back on 85 minutes with a precise low shot from outside the area, before fellow substitute Goncalo Ramos equalised in stoppage time, turning in Ousmane Dembele's cross. With the match skipping extra time, the shoot-out saw PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier make the difference, securing a 4-3 victory. Dembele was named player of the match for his decisive impact. Enrique acknowledged that Tottenham had been the stronger side for much of the game but expressed delight at his team's resilience and the joy the win would bring to supporters. New Spurs boss Thomas Frank noted that his side had the match under control until the late PSG goals, but took encouragement from the overall performance.
