Cristiano Ronaldo and son Cristiano Jr show off their abs together but fans all spot shocking detail
CRISTIANO RONALDO is showing his son Cristiano Junior how to reach the elite level that made the Manchester United legend one of football's all-time greats.
Ronaldo, 40, won a raft of honours throughout his glittering 23-year career and one of his main secrets lies on his stunning fitness levels.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has been prioritising his body from a young age and thus spends a lot of time on the gym while also adhering to a strict diet.
The Al-Nassr superstar's son Junior, 14, is following in his father's massive footsteps as he is currently playing for the Saudi giants' Under-15 side.
And thus Cristianinho has adopted all of his dad's fitness regime.
The pair have been working out a lot together and decided to show the results of their hard labour on camera as they flexed for a pic on Twitter.
Ronaldo added the following caption in the snap that showed them both looking shredded: "Like father like son."
But many fans pointed at something peculiar about that photo and stormed the comments' section.
CR7's supporters noticed that his teenage son is already taller than the super athlete, who stands at 1.87m.
One fan tweeted: "Hahaha son taller than you already lol."
Another commented: "Bro how's the lad taller than CR7."
A third wrote: "Even Ronaldo's son is taller than [Lionel] Messi."
New footage shows Cristiano Ronaldo's wild reaction to Portugal Nations League win as Man Utd star is 'used as shield'
This fan said: "@Grok make Ronaldo shorter."
And that one stated: "He's grown taller than you champ."
The same photo also highlighted Ronaldo's recent fashion statement that has seen him painting his toenails.
Junior has been following his father around the world and played for his club's youth sides.
The winger's career kicked off in 2021 as he spent a year with Juventus before linking up with Man Utd until his father's acrimonious departure in early 2023.
The forward also plays for Portugal's Under-15s where he put together some impressive performances.

Lee Carsley frustrated by missed chances in England Under-21s stalemate
Lee Carsley was frustrated by missed chances after England Under-21s were held to a 0-0 draw by Slovenia in the second game of their European Championship campaign. England could have secured their place in the knockout stage after Ethan Nwaneri and James McAtee spurned glorious opportunities and Harvey Elliott was denied by the woodwork. The reigning champions continued to push for a second win of the tournament but Slovenia goalkeeper Martin Turk denied Jack Hinshelwood in stoppage time to keep their slim hopes of qualification alive. Carsley told 'It was a very tough game. We definitely didn't underestimate Slovenia, who are a good, well-organised team. 'I definitely think we had enough chances to win, though, so the frustration is that we didn't take those opportunities. 'I expect us to be better against Germany. I think we'll need to freshen the team up. 'It's important to take into consideration their age and the amount they've played, so we'll make sure we utilise the squad.' England kept a clean sheet thanks to goalkeeper James Beadle, who was called into action on three occasions to stop Slovenia from taking the lead. The England stopper said: 'There are no easy games in this tournament and Slovenia have real quality. 'If you can't win the game don't lose it, and we move on. I'm satisfied with my personal performance, but obviously disappointed we didn't win.' Captain McAtee dragged wide from inside the area in the first half before Turk denied him straight after the break. The 22-year-old is hoping England can top the group with victory over Germany. He said: 'I'm a bit annoyed at myself for the chances I missed, but the same goes for the rest of the lads. 'We're disappointed with the result, but it's a point and we've got another game coming up soon, so we'll focus on that. 'With my first chance I thought I was offside and for the second the lads said it was a good save, but I should have finished it. 'There will be some fresh legs out there against Germany, so hopefully we can get the three points and top the group, because that's our aim.'

‘I'm waiting to kill them' – Man City star Cherki fires chilling warning to Man Utd as ex-Lyon ace seeks vengeance
RAYAN CHERKI has arrived in Manchester with a score to settle – and says he wants to 'kill' United. The £30.4million City new boy was part of the Lyon team who were dramatically beaten at Old Trafford in the Europa League quarter finals. The French international, 21, was even snapped goading the home fans by rubbing his groin after scoring in extra time that night. So when the Prem fixtures for next season are released later this week, there is only one fixture he will be looking for. Cherki said: 'I didn't like it when Manchester United won the game against Lyon because I am a Lyon fan. 'Now I am waiting for the game to kill them. I just wanted to go to Manchester City.' Cherki was regularly linked with a move to Old Trafford during his early years – after making his Lyon debut at 16. But their stunning comeback in April – capped by Harry Maguire's 120th-minute winner – ended Cherki's hopes of signing off from his boyhood club with a trophy. Yet he hopes he can make up for that by winning the lot on the blue side of Manchester in the coming years. He was sold a vision by Pep Guardiola which convinced him he was making the right move. Cherki added: 'When I spoke with Pep and he wanted me - he was very, very clear. That the system, the club, the city is very good. 'I want to win and I think City wants to win it all. For me that's better.' Jack Grealish has gone from eye-catching showman and heartthrob to miserable bench warmer - and I know who's to blame

Man Utd target Bryan Mbeumo makes Thomas Frank claim amid Spurs transfer battle
Manchester United target Bryan Mbeumo is also wanted by Tottenham now that Thomas Frank is in charge and the Cameroon star feels his ex-Brentford boss will thrive at his new club Bryan Mbeumo has tipped Thomas Frank to be a huge hit at Tottenham during an impromptu interview at the Canadian Grand Prix - but he did not discuss the battle for his signature between Spurs and Manchester United. The Cameroon star, 25, is wanted by both clubs with a summer exit from Brentford now likely. It's understood that United is Mbeumo's preferred destination with the Red Devils in desperate need of reinforcements after enduring their worst ever Premier League campaign. They have so far failed to meet Brentford's valuation of the player and the situation has been complicated by Frank's move to Spurs. Mirror Football revealed prior to the weekend that they have launched a £70million bid to try and make Mbeumo their marquee summer signing by gazumping their rivals. And while Mbeumo did not discuss interest from the two clubs in Montreal, he did endorse Frank to do a stellar job at his new club. "He's done so much for me," Mbeumo told Sky Sports when he was asked how influential Frank has been during his career. "He literally trusted me from the start [at Brentford] and he developed the team so well. He developed me as a human and a player so much as well. I can only wish him all the best and I'm sure he's going to do well." He added: "He knows everything; he's really smart and knows what he wants to bring the team, how he wants them to play. He's been fantastic for Brentford." Mbeumo is hot property after breaking the 20-goal barrier in the Premier League for the first time last season, helping Brentford to a 10th place finish. Crucially, the Bees are not expected to prevent their star man after his stellar campaign, though it remains unclear where he will end up with the summer transfer window set to reopen on Monday. The versatile forward feels he is currently at the peak of his powers, adding: "I think it's been my best season so far in the Premier League. Even collectively, I think we played very good and were unlucky [to not get] a European spot." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
