Cristiano Ronaldo's son, 14, scores his FIRST goal for Portugal and performs his father's iconic celebration before netting a brace with the U15s in Croatia
Cristiano Ronaldo 's son scored his first goal for Portugal's U15 side on Sunday afternoon before celebrating in familiar fashion. Playing for the national side's age-group outfit against Croatia, Ronaldo Jr., 14, broke the deadlock after just 11 minutes. The goal came after the ball broke to him inside the 18-yard box, which he crashed home off the woodwork into the roof of the net. He then paid homage to his father by whipping out the so-called 'SIU' celebration made famous by Ronaldo Sr. The youngster was then mobbed by his ecstatic team-mates following the goal - and his day got even better as he scored a second just before the interval. That restored Portugal's lead after they had been pegged back on level terms shortly after Ronaldo Jr's first strike. He pulled out the SIUU celebration after scoring ✨ — Goals Side (@goalsside) May 18, 2025 His celebration and brace comes days after he made his debut for the team, Ronaldo Jr, 14, was named on the bench for Portugal's clash with Japan at the Vlatko Markovic international tournament in Croatia. He came on as a substitute in the 54th minute as Portugal recorded a convincing 4-1 victory. Following the game, his legendary father, 40, posted a heartwarming message to his son as the youngster continues to follow in his footsteps. 'Congratulations on your debut by @selecaoportugal, son. Very proud of you!' Ronaldo Sr wrote on X, alongside pictures of his son in action. Ronaldo Jr donned the number seven shirt on his debut, the same jersey his father has famously worn at Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus. Having turned 40 in February, Ronaldo Sr is still playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, and has scored 33 goals in 39 appearances this season. He has previously spoken about dreaming of playing in the same team as his son before hanging up his boots, and Jr making his debut for Portugal's Under-15s on Tuesday indicated this could still be a realistic aim. Ronaldo Sr made his senior Portugal debut in 2003 at the age of 18, and looks set to play in his sixth World Cup next year. His son will turn 15 next month, and may have to fast-track his development if he is to play alongside Ronaldo Sr.

Man Utd linked with fairytale transfer as they scout Cristiano Ronaldo Jr's Portugal debut amid shock Tottenham interest
A MANCHESTER UNITED scout saw Cristiano Ronaldo Jr make his Portugal Under-15 debut as a raft of top clubs sent representatives to the match. The 14-year-old son of the legendary former Red Devils No7 was cheered onto the pitch when he came off the bench in a 4-1 win over Japan's Under-15s on Tuesday. 4 4 Wearing the same number his father wore with distinction during two spells at Old Trafford, Ronaldo Jr gave a few brief glimpses of his talent during a second-half run-out at the Vlatko Markovic tournament in Croatia. Ruben Amorim 's staff will add the scout's report to their file on the youngster, who could earn a start in one of Portugal's remaining matches against Greece or England. United will already know plenty from the 14 months Ronaldo Jr spent at their academy. He played alongside Wayne Rooney's son, Kai, in the youth set-up when his father returned for an ill-fated second stint under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik ten Hag. The Europa League finalists were among several high-profile clubs to send scouts to the match. United's Bilbao opponents Tottenham were in attendance with up to 10 Bundesliga clubs also rumoured to be represented in the crowd. Croatian newspaper Sportske Novosti report that Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Hoffenheim, Red Bull Salzburg, Inter Milan, Juventus and Atalanta sent spies to cover the game. The Portuguese players caught the eye with their superior technique and tactical appreciation, running out easy winners over the Japanese kids. Braga forward Rafael Cabral was the star of the match and stole Cristiano Jr's thunder by bagging a hat-trick before he stepped out onto the pitch. The 14-year-old honed his ball skills by playing futsal from an early age while his mobility allows him to operate just as effectively from the wings as he does from the middle. He is Braga's top scorer in the youth league with 13 goals this season and leads a seven-strong contingent from the club in Portugal's squad, which contains no players from the traditional powers of Benfica and Sporting Lisbon. 4
