Cristiano Ronaldo: My son and Lamine Yamal look very much alike
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.
