Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. is beginning to establish a reputation for himself, donning the #7 jersey after signing for the Al Nassr U13 team. Meanwhile, he was recently under spotlight for a different reason altogether. The 13-year-old’s comment rekindled Ronaldo‘s nine years of legacy with Real Madrid. On this note, Cristiano Jr. had a sarcastic remark for an Al Hilal star, after his father put a flurry of goals past the keeper when he was at Madrid.

Ronaldo dominated while at the Bernabeu, netting 450 goals in 438 games. His son has naturally been an admirer of this and is determined to become a professional player himself.

Yassine Bounou played four seasons with Girona before securing a loan move to Sevilla. The Morocco star fielded against Cristiano Ronaldo on numerous occasions in domestic and international games. Yet, the most notable tie was in the 2017/18 season during a La Liga fixture. Ronaldo netted his 50 career hat trick to guide Real Madrid to a 6-3 thrashing over Girona at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Portuguese star put four past Bounou during the match.

On this note, the Al Hilal star was reminiscent of the interaction he had with Ronaldo’s son after the match. Cristiano Jr. jokingly took shots at him for the loss in this away fixture. The star goalkeeper, while remembering the incident, remarked, I remember that he scored 4 goals against me at the Bernabéu. After the match, he was with his son and his son told me: My father scored four goals against you”.

Yassine Bounou’s fate against the Los Blancos icon took a significant turn after Morrocco outperformed Portugal in the 2022 World Cup. Morocco won 1-0 against Portugal in the quarterfinal, resulting in an early exit for Ronnie from the knockout stage.

Yassine Bounou seeks redemption after taunt from Ronaldo Jr.

Al Hilal has not managed to secure a victory against Al Nassr this season. The Saudi side fell short against Al Alami to clinch the Arab Champions Cup title after a 2-1 loss in the final minute of the match. However, Yassine Bounou’s role as the goalkeeper has made a significant difference in Al Hilal’s success in the league. Al Zaem has only conceded 8 goals in 13 games, standing at the top of the league with 35 points.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. continued to have a cheeky take on Bounou, following his $22 million deal with the Saudi side. The under-13 star made a playful remark before the Moroccan icon cross paths with CR7 on December 1st for the SPL game. The Al Hilal goalkeeper said, “Now, his son has grown up and is with him in Saudi Arabia, he said to me: “Bono, we will see when he scores some goals against you.” Be that as it may, it seems the younger Ronaldo is taking after his father.
