There has been an interesting prodigy meets prodigy moment for soccer fandom. Cristiano Ronaldo‘s son Cristiano Jr met with UEFA Euro champ Lamine Yamal. While Yamal’s heroics need no introduction, Ronaldo’s son has started his youth stint with Al Nassr and bagged a U-13 trophy last season. Many questions arise as well: how would these two have met? And it thickens the plot to see the son of a legendary Real Madrid icon linked up with a Barcelona wonderkid. What’s more, is this a herald of the next big thing in soccer? While many narratives pop up, it is Cristiano Jr’s unbelievable physique that has caught most fans’ attention.
Many fans believe Cristiano Jr is way too strong and tall for a 14-year-old. It is no surprise considering that the three years older Yamal has cut a sleek and slender physique while standing next to the Al Nassr captain’s son.
It is unclear as to where or how the Barcelona prodigy crossed paths with the Real Madrid legend’s son. Yamal was recently on vacation in Greece while Barcelona has embarked on a pre-season tour in the US. Anyhow, let’s dive deeper into the details of the two prodigies’ physical appearances that caused hilarious responses from netizens.

Fans in awe of Cristiano Jr physically overpowering Lamine Yamal in recent linkup
Turning the heads of NBA fans, Cristiano Ronaldo’s son donned a pink Miami Heat jersey while meeting with Lamine Yamal. Thanks to the Heat apparel, Cristiano Jr stylishly flaunted his bulked physique. Bulked? Bulked would be an understatement considering we’re speaking about a 14-year-old. Besides, Ronaldo’s son is already 5’11 per many sources. Considering he is still a teenager and his father is 6’2, the Al Nassr youth star has a great chance of surpassing his father’s height. Lamine Yamal, meanwhile is 5’9 per sources.
Not only is Yamal shorter than Cristiano Jr. He’s also leaner than the Al Nassr prodigy. Since both are footballers, most fans seem to care about their legs. And these netizens think it is high time Yamal built as strong legs as Ronaldo’s son.
“Yamal’s legs look so thin,” a user commented on a picture shared by Centre Goals.

The gym seems to be the safest haven for the Ronaldo’s, as per CR7’s social media posts. No wonder the 14-year-old is this bulked. Moreover, it’s not just the physique Junior following in his father’s footsteps. Attitude towards life and determination the boy has inherited as well, as just like Ronaldo, the 14-year-old stays away from soft drinks and junk food!
