Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably one of the best players of generation. Starting off as a left winger, Ronaldo terrorized defenses with his pace and his immaculate skills. But over the years, CR7 has transformed his game.
While he does not produce the creative numbers, he once did from the wing position, the 36-year-old has become an incredible goalscorer. Dominating each and every league he has played in, Ronaldo despite his age is still at the top of his game and is still a lethal shooter.
Recently, the Portuguese proved the world how prolific of a goalscorer he really is. The 5-time Ballon D’or added to his scoring repertoire as he broke an iconic record and became the highest international goalscorer surpassing Ali Daei.

While Ronaldo has made it clear that he won’t pressure Ronaldo Jr. to pursue football as a career, the 11-year-old might be headed to the same. Just like his father, the 11-year-old was a goal-scoring machine for the U-9 team of Juventus.
Scoring a mind-boggling 58 goals and 17 assists in the 23 games he played, Ronaldo Jr. certainly stood out. The 11-year-old will now join Manchester United’s U-12 team. Wayne Rooney’s son Kai Rooney will also join him on this journey.
