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.

Video: PSG's Hakimi gives Brigitte Macron an awkward look
Published June 3rd, 2025 - 12:23 GMT ALBAWABA - Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Achraf Hakimi recently went viral on social media after a video revealed him giving Brigitte Macron an odd and awkward look during a meet-up that celebrated the football team's victory against Inter Milan in the Champions League finale. PSG won against Inter Milan 5-0 at the UEFA Champions League Final on May 31, 2025, sparking widespread celebrations on social media and in Paris' streets. Hakimi contributed to one goal out of the five scored in Milan's net. Several social media users noticed Hakimi's observatory look, alongside his teammate Lucas Hernández, who appeared visibly uncomfortable and confused. This may have stemmed from recent media coverage and controversy surrounding Brigitte Macron's appearance and identity. Recent rumors and investigations from the media claimed that Brigitte Macron is a transgener who was born a man with childhood photos as "evidence." The alleged photos were first shared by a French magazine, but quickly flooded social media with claims and reports. — Camille Moscow 🇷🇺 🌿 ☦️ (@camille_moscow) June 2, 2025 However, many reported on social media that the boy in the photos was not Brigitte Macron but "her brother, Jean-Michel Trogneux, from 1953, 1954, and 1955." The ongoing rumors were recently reignited by American far-right political commentator Candace Owens, who claimed that French President Emannuel Macron and his wife Brigitte sent her a "legal threat" to prevent her from speaking further about the matter in question. The rumors first occurred when two women (Amandine Roy and Natacha Rey) went on YouTube claiming that Brigitte was born in 1953 as a boy under the name "Jean-Michel Trogneux." They were later targeted in a defamation lawsuit and persecuted by a court in Normandy city. Emmanuel Macron has constantly denied the allegations mentioned above across the years, describing them as "false" and "fabricated lies." © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Spain v France not a Ballon d'Or decider, says Yamal
Spain's Barcelona striker Lamine Yamal has said the Ballon d'Or award won't be decided by performances on Thursday when he and France's Paris St Germain forward Ousmane Dembele take part in the Nations League Final Four. Spain and France meet in Stuttgart for a place in the final, with the winners facing either Germany or Portugal who play in the other semi-final on Wednesday. Yamal and Dembele have been crucial for club and country this season and the prestigious golden ball trophy could end up with one of them in September during the ceremony in Paris. But the Barca striker challenged a journalist who asked whether Thursday's clash would be decisive for the voting. "If you had to give the Ballon d'Or, who would you give it to - the best player of the year or the one who wins on Thursday?" Yamal told Spanish broadcaster Cadena COPE on Monday. "I'm confident we'll win on Thursday, but whether we win or not, I'd vote for the player of the year because if something happens to me or Dembele on Thursday, who do you vote for? One who plays on Sunday? "I would give it to the best player of the year, and I'd keep it for myself." The competition is tough between the duo, with Dembele winning a Ligue 1, French Cup and Champions League treble, while the 17-year-old Yamal won LaLiga, the Spanish Cup and Spanish Super Cup. Dembele has scored 35 goals in all competitions for club and country this season, while Yamal has netted 19. The nominees for the 2025 edition of the Ballon d'Or award, which covers August 1-July 31, will be announced at the start of August, with the ceremony taking place on September 22. Reuters
