Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has teased the possibility of sharing the pitch with his 14-year-old son, Cristiano Jr., in the future.
During the latest episode with YouTube star MrBeast, published on Thursday via the UR Cristiano channel, Ronaldo was asked if he envisioned playing alongside his son in professional football.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner responded with cautious optimism.
“Maybe. I’ll see. He is fourteen now. Let’s see, let’s see how my legs are doing; we’ll see,” Ronaldo said.
In October, LeBron James and his eldest son, Bronny James, made NBA history after making their long-awaited first appearance together for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The duo appeared together at the start of the second quarter in the Lakers’ 118-114 preseason defeat to the Phoenix Suns in Palm Desert, east of Los Angeles.
While LeBron James impressed with 19 points in just 16 minutes and 20 seconds on court before sitting out the second half, Bronny found the going harder with zero points in just over 13 minutes on court. The younger James attempted just one shot.
The prospect of a father-son duo gracing the football field together sparked excitement among fans. Many hope the iconic forward will continue his stellar career long enough to make the dream of possibly playing with his son a reality.
