Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. continues to prove that he is following in his father's footsteps after his latest goal for the Al Nassr academy team.
The official team account on X.com, formerly Twitter, drew comparisons between one of Cristiano Ronaldo's recent goals and his son's header. The son of the forward bore striking similarity to his parent's trademark style.
Throughout his career, Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo is renowned for having one of the best jumps in soccer, after a stunning leap that made CR7 one of the biggest aerial threats in the world, and now his son is showing promising signs in that department.
Video footage shows Ronaldo Jr. hovering in the air during a corner kick to make good on his effort and nod the ball into the bottom corner of the goal whilst in another video, his father is seen scoring a similar header for Al Nassr, and you can see the two goals are almost identical.
Both are then mobbed by their celebrating teammates, while Ronaldo Sr. also performs his famous "siuuu" celebration after scoring.
The latest comparison comes after CR7 was previously filmed demonstrating his freekick technique to his son. On that occasion, the teenager sent the ball into the net a freekick during an individual training session with his father, before CR7 went one better with an even nicer goal.
Ronaldo Jr.'s development
Just 13 years old, the youngster has the desire to become a professional footballer like his father and continues his development within the Saudi Arabian team's youth team after the Portuguese legend relocated there.
Ronaldo Jr. previously played for academy teams at Manchester United and Juventus, and his father's move to Al Nassr in 2022 prompted him to make another club switch.
Ronaldo Jr. was at a match last week, for another of the teams his father has played for, although this time he was a spectator. He was there to watch Real Madrid when they defeated Barcelona 4-1 in the Spanish Super Cup final on Arabian soil.
Cristiano Ronaldo's son is just like his father: Hangs in the air to score a CR-style header
header
A header is a technique that is used in association football to control the ball using the head to pass, shoot, or clear. This can be done from a standing, jumping, or diving position. Heading is a common technique and is used by players in practically every match.

Al Nassr
Al Nassr (Arabic: النصر) is the Arabic word for "victory", clubs with the same name are found in Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, and Libya but the Saudi Arabian club was the first to take the name.
The phrase "siu" is derived from Portuguese sim, meaning "yes". This was confirmed by Ronaldo in an interview in 2023, almost a decade since he first performed it. Ronaldo explained that the phrase "Siuuu' simply means yes, but "meaning it very strongly".
One year later, he was diagnosed with tachycardia, a condition that could have forced him to give up playing football. Ronaldo underwent heart surgery where a laser was used to cauterise multiple cardiac pathways into one, altering his resting heart rate.
Trevor Sinclair has bizarrely claimed that he was the one who created Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic 'SIUUU' celebration. The former England international, who played for Manchester City between 2003 and 2007, made a total of 82 appearances for the Citizens, scoring six times from midfield.
The iPhone XS Max owned by Lionel Messi was already one of the most expensive mobile phones around, but the footballer has had it covered in 24 carat gold by iDesign Gold. He also has his name and number inscribed on the back, as well as the names of his wife and children.
Ronaldo adopted Martunis, who was 7 years old at the time, after he was found on a beach wearing a Portugal jersey following the 2004 Aceh tsunami. Martunis lost his mother, elder brother and younger sister in the disaster.
Messi is less consistent than Ronaldo. After Messi scored his historic 91 goals in a year, he then scored only half of those goals per year. If we make a graph of his total goals, the line would look more like a heartbeat! Ronaldo, however, consistently scored more than 50 goals for seven calendar years!
Ronaldo's trademark goal celebration sees him perform a mid-air pirouette before exclaiming "si!" (sometimes spelled "siu") - which is Spanish for "yes!" - upon landing. It is an expression of delight at scoring.
It means yes – very simple but meaning it strongly!” Ronaldo had also spoken about it earlier where he said: “I started to say 'si', it's like 'yes', when I was in Real Madrid.
