Cristiano Ronaldo Junior Is A Serious Ball Player, As Luck Would Have It

Only a night after his father had essentially stolen the show during the Champions League final - this time through sheer brilliance as opposed to a late penalty and gratuitous, movie trailer-ready celebration - six-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, son of God, had the Bernabeu on its feet.

During Real Madrid's Champions League celebrations, Junior was filmed taking on a few of the elder statesmen amongst the players' children, and duly made minced meat of them much to the palpable excitement of the celebratory Madridistas in the crowd.

Young Ronaldo effortlessly glided past his first adversary with a roll of his right foot, before inviting the same defender and his partner in crime to dispossess him. With a familiar air of superiority, he waltzed between both before calmly slotting past the stand-in goalkeeper. It was the turn in between both defenders, though, which drew a gasp from the watching Madrid faithful.

He's not even old enough to make his Communion, and obviously may not even decide to pursue football at all, but it's evident that possessing some of the same genes as, and indeed growing up under the gaze of one of the greatest players of all time has rendered him a handy player.

Ronaldo Senior has previously posted to his Instagram his son's free-kicks, which frankly seem a tad more accurate than his own these days.

Of course, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that the young man replicates some of his father's success. Zinedine Zidane's son Enzo Fernandez was part of Madrid's travelling squad for the Champions League final on Saturday just 15 years after his father scored the winning goal in a final of his own.
