Al Nassr’s U13 side has made history, with the young lions bagging the U13 Saudi Pro League title. The team announced the news on their official Instagram handle, congratulating the team on their elite achievement. The side got a tremendous boost to their ranks this season, with Cristiano Ronaldo‘s son Cristiano Jr joining the ranks. He played a massive role in the team’s success, with the player emerging as one of the crucial players for the team.
Al Nassr fans will be on cloud nine following the news after a rough day at the box office last night. The men’s senior team were outclassed at the hands of Al Hilal during the Riyadh Season Cup, with the Blues bagging a 2-0 over their arch-rivals. Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the team, but the Portuguese superstar failed to score despite multiple opportunities.

The Middle Eastern outfit took to Instagram to send their best wishes to the young superstars after their massive win. “Final whistle 🤩 AlNassr U13 team are the Champions 🏆 Our boys did it 3 weeks before their last fixture! Congratulations to our young stars, the future is looking bright! 💛”

Cristiano Jr has caught the world’s eye with his impressive outings on the grassroots level. However, it seems like the young star has high aspirations for his future. The Al Nassr skipper talked about his son’s desire to play alongside him in an interview last year. Cristiano stated, “My son tells me: Dad, hold on a few more years, I want to play with you!”
Cristiano Jr has a long way to go if he wishes to play alongside his father. It is also important to note that the Al Nassr skipper is 39 years old and will have to play at least for the next three/four years to feature alongside his son.
