15 Things Cristiano Ronaldo Forbids His Son To Do! 🚫⚽️

Did you know that Cristiano Junior can play for the national team of five different countries? Or that at 15 years old, he is already taller than his father, Ronaldo? Here are 15 things many people don't know about Cristiano Junior. Before we start, like right now, if you love football and stay until the end to understand everything, let's go. Let's begin with the five countries he could represent. His father is the most famous Portuguese player, so Cristiano Junior holds a Portuguese passport. That means he could choose to play for Portugal's national team if he is good enough in a few years. But he also has a second passport, American. He was born in California in 2010. When Ronaldo was playing in Madrid, his son lived there with him for about eight years, which is enough, according to FIFA rules, to potentially qualify to play for Spain. He has also lived in England. If he spends a bit more time there, he could also become eligible to play for England. And the fifth country? Cape Verde. It's located here. I had to look it up on the map too. Ronaldo's great-grandmother comes from there, so according to FIFA rules, he could also be eligible to play for that country. However, Cristiano Junior has recently decided that he will play for Portugal's youth national teams. Well, that's not really a surprise. And there, he immediately became a celebrated young star. In May 2025, he was officially called up to the Portugal Under-15 national team. Then came the big moment. He came on as a substitute in the 54th minute against Japan, wearing his father Cristiano Ronaldo's famous No. 7 shirt. Portugal won 4-1, and Ronaldo was proud of his son. On Instagram, he wrote, Congratulations on your debut. I'm proud of you. But the real big moment came in the final against Croatia. Cristiano was in the starting lineup. Ronaldo Junior scored the opening goal with a powerful left-footed shot. Then he performed his father's famous celebration. And just before halftime, he scored a header. In the end, Portugal won 3-2. And all of this happened in front of his proud grandmother and countless fans. Even though he had just turned 15, everyone wanted a photo with him. Or an autograph. He showed his football talent very early. Junior started in the Juventus youth teams when his father was playing in Turin. And he scored four goals on his debut. In 28 matches with Juventus Under-9, he scored 58 goals and provided 18 assists. Those are better statistics than Ronaldo had during his time at Juventus. And I mean, that's not surprising. Just look at this dribble. Not bad at all. Even from set pieces, he showed that he trained with his father. Did you know that Cristiano Junior once had an Instagram account, but had to delete it after just a few days? His father is the most followed person on Instagram, with over 660 million followers. He knows what it means to receive that much attention every single day. On top of that, he doesn't like young kids spending too much time on their phones. Even when Junior wanted a phone at 9 years old, he didn't get one. Ronaldo didn't want his son entering the world of social media too early. Instead, he wanted him to focus on school, training, and family. That's why he didn't have Instagram, even though all his friends did. So, it was a big surprise when, at 9 years old, Junior created an account. He posted a video and spoke not only in English, but also in Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. Within just a few hours, he already had nearly 1 million followers. But after a few days, the account was deleted. Why? According to rumors, Ronaldo felt that the hype around his 9-year-old son was too much, and didn't want to put him in the spotlight so early. And he probably also wanted to protect him from possible mistakes, because once something is on the internet, it's impossible to erase. And speaking of things that surprised fans, why was Junior wearing a Germany shirt for his 14th birthday? The German magazine Bild asked Georgina about it, and she said there was no special reason. Junior is passionate about collecting jerseys and has a huge collection, including Germany's pink shirt. Speaking of Georgina, she is not his biological mother, but Cristiano's stepmother, and the two get along very well, as we can see when they go out together, spend time at home, or attend training sessions. She is also often seen supporting Junior at his youth matches. Who is his real mother? We don't know, and Ronaldo has no intention of revealing it. Junior is now 15 years old, so he probably already knows the identity of his biological mother. But he didn't have a bad childhood. Ronaldo's mother, Junior's grandmother, took care of him, and I'm sure he lacked nothing. But even with one of the most famous fathers in football history, he was obsessed with another player, Messi. Ronaldo later revealed that Junior loves watching Messi videos at home, but he also learned certain things from Ronaldo. Junior during the Juventus period almost scored with a backheel, exactly like Ronaldo once did. Ronaldo himself has said that his children are like him, including their unconditional desire to win. When Ronaldo was in Egypt with his family, they played paddle until things became a bit too competitive. They were so focused on winning that they stopped talking to each other. A funny example happened a few weeks ago. In an under-15 match with Al Nasser, Cristiano Junior scored two goals. Ronaldo jokingly held up three fingers for his son. But in the end, his son laughed because Ronaldo had scored only one goal. However, there is already something in which he has surpassed Ronaldo. In a recent Instagram post, we saw that Junior is already taller than his father at 15 years old. Ronaldo is about 1.87 meters tall, so Junior is already approaching 1.90 meters. This even surprised the streamer iShowSpeed when he met Junior at 14. But here's something many people don't know. A few years ago, Ronaldo's son unknowingly committed an offense, and it was all Ronaldo's fault. During a vacation on the island of Madeira, the family spent time on a luxury yacht. Cristiano Junior asked if he could ride a jet ski. Ronaldo said yes, and the 10-year-old had fun while his family filmed him. The problem? In Portugal, it is illegal for a 10-year-old to drive a jet ski. The minimum age is 18. The video was quickly deleted from Instagram, and it is unknown whether Ronaldo had to pay a fine. Today, Junior mainly attracts attention because of his dribbles and goals at Al Nasser. His skill moves, free kicks and long-range shots have already impressed many people. Major European clubs are watching closely. We will see whether Ronaldo allows him to leave one day. Ronaldo recently said that his son has talent and all the right conditions to succeed. He benefits from personal coaches and a program tailored to him. But the biggest question remains. Does he have the hunger and the willingness to make sacrifices? To become a professional footballer, talent is not enough. You need desire, discipline and sacrifice. One of Ronaldo's dreams is to play a professional match with his son one day. We'll see if that happens. Some fans once complained because Junior wore Adidas and Nike at the same time, even though Ronaldo has a massive contract with Nike. Ronaldo's response was simple. He wears what he wants, not what you want. And finally, did you know that Cristiano Junior was already impressing former footballers at just 9 years old? In 2009, Rio Ferdinand visited Ronaldo in Madrid and saw Junior playing in the garden. In 2024, he visited again and played with him once more, noticing how much he had improved.
