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.
