It’s safe to say that the legacy of Cristiano Ronaldo is in safe hands. His son is slowly showcasing to the soccer world that he can rule the roost. Even at the age of 13, the Portuguese superstar’s eldest kid has not fallen short of stealing the spotlight. This time, he rightfully did so by showcasing his extraordinary soccer prowess, attempting a successful nutmeg against none other than IShowSpeed. All of this transpired as the viral YouTuber was in Saudi Arabia to watch CR7 in action for the Riyadh Season Cup.

Already having met his GOAT, Speed spared some time to meet Jr. After a meet-and-greet session, the teenage star asked the live streamer to play a match. Although it was merely friendly, Cristiano Ronaldo’s son played around with Speed by smoothly dribbling the ball between his legs. It doesn’t end here, as he dribbled the whole team and scored a brilliant solo goal. As this incident took place, all the kids who were cheering outside the turf started shouting.

Even Speed couldn’t believe his eyes, as he kept his head down in dismay. Sadly, this wasn’t the only humiliating part, as while chasing Jr, Speed lost his balance and fell. However, on the brighter side, he managed to score a lot of goals and even performed many of Cristiano Ronaldo’s celebrations. Overall, he had a great time, but that wasn’t the only awkward moment for the 19-year-old.

While it’s unclear whether Cristiano Jr.’s antics made Speed jealous, it was certainly the case when the live streamer compared his height with the 13-year-old.

Expressing disbelief at the teen’s growth, Speed questioned Cristiano Jr, saying, “Why are you almost taller than me?”. CR7’s son did not answer the question directly. Both of them are currently 5’8″ (173 cm) tall. Considering that Cristiano Ronaldo is taller than 6 feet, his son may even grow taller than Speed by the time they play again.
