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.'

PSG vs Atletico Madrid – Club World Cup LIVE SCORE: Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha gives Champions League winners lead
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE winners PSG open up their Club World Cup campaign with a tricky test against Spanish giants Atletico Madrid - and the match is on RIGHT NOW! Luiz Enrique's red-hot side will be oozing with confidence as they go into this tournament off the back of a treble-winning season, having secured Ligue 1, the French Cup, and the Champions League. And it was a record-breaking Champions League final win as the Desire Doué's double fired the Parisians to a staggering 5-0 victory against Inter Milan. However, Atletico own the current bragging rights as Nahuel Molina and Angel Correa's strikes, fired the La Liga heavyweights to a marginal 2-1 win when the sides last met in November 2024. Follow ALL the action from this Club World Cup match with our live blog below... Today, 19:58 By Zorawar Assi Moments away from Kick off The game is about to get underway as both teams emerge from the tunnels right now. The game of the competition so far! Today, 19:28 By Nyle Smith Club World Cup prize money Here is a full breakdown of what each club could earn from every round: *Note: prize money accumulates as a club progresses Group stage (three matches) $2m/£1.4m win or $1m/£746k draw Round of 16 + $7.5m/£5.5m Quarter-final + $13.125m/£9.7m Semi-final + $21.0m/£15.6m Finalist + $30m/£22.3m Winner + $40m/£29.8m Today, 19:12 By Nyle Smith Last time out PSG may have won the Champions League, but their campaign got off to a torrid start and that included a last-gasp 2-1 home defeat to Atletico Madrid. Warren Zaire-Emery's opener was quickly cancelled out by the visitors' Nahuel Molina in the first half And then Angel Correa stabbed home the winner three minutes into added time. By Welcome to SunSport's live coverage of PSG vs Atletico Madrid PSG and Atletico Madrid face off tonight in a thrilling Club World Cup contest at the Rose Bowl - and we'll be all over it! This is both clubs' debut at the Club World Cup, but PSG would have been taking part in its old format later this year regardless, after their incredible Champions League triumph at the end of May. And both teams are expected to qualify for the knockout stages after being drawn in Group B along with Botafogo and Seattle Sanders. Enrique's men enjoyed the perfect season, winning Ligue 1 by 19 points, collecting another Coupe de France with consummate ease, before making light work of Inter Milan in the Champions League final, setting a record-high scoreline by thrashing the Nerazzurri 5-0. Those five goals added to a season-long tally of 152 scored by PSG, who were a joy to watch, especially for the neutral, as they have also only kept three clean sheets in their last 12 games. Ironically, they were unable to keep Atletico at bay when they met during the league phase of the Champions League as Diego Simeone's men completed a customary smash-and-grab win over the Parisians at the Parc des Princes. But this is most certainly a more confident PSG side with a dangerous trio of Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia up top. However, potential Ballon d'Or winner Dembele is a doubt for this match so Luiz Enrique may have to rethink his starting line-up.
