During a stream with content creator Rakai, Cristiano Jr. was asked who his favorite footballer was. Without hesitation, he replied: “Ronaldo”. True to his blood, true to his surname.
But the question that made him think was another one: who is better right now, his dad or Lamine Yamal? And that is when he said something no one expected from Cristiano’s son: “Right now, Yamal is better, but he still hasn’t won anything”, he admitted, with the brutal honesty that only children have.
What Cristiano Jr. did not know was that time would remind him in the harshest possible way. Months later, Lamine Yamal became World champion with Spain, leaving Portugal —his idol’s national team— by the wayside. Sometimes reality has a rather cruel sense of humor. ⚽🏆
