Ronaldo's son criticizes Spanish football prodigy for being far inferior to his father, fans hope for one thing

Lamine Yamal – the rising star of Barcelona and the Spanish national team – has often been compared to superstars like Ronaldo and Messi in the early stages of their careers.

Ronaldo Jr . affirms his father's class and humility with young talent

However, the opinion of Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., CR7 's son, about Lamine Yamal is quite cruel and unexpectedly "stormed" social networks. Accordingly, in a recent livestream with famous streamer Rakai, Jr. frankly shared that although he did not deny the outstanding talent of the player born in 2007, the eldest son of the Portuguese superstar still thought that it was too early to put him on the same level as his father.

“At the moment? He is very good,” Cristiano Jr. began, acknowledging Yamal’s talent. However, he quickly made a key point: “But Lamine hasn’t won anything yet. He has great potential, but he has a long way to go.”

Cristiano Jr.'s statement surprised Rakai, who had previously made the comparison between Yamal and Ronaldo. Rakai even stated that, at his current age, Lamine Yamal could be superior to CR7 in the past. This view is well-founded when looking at Yamal's explosive performances for Barcelona and the Spanish national team, where he broke a series of records for age and goals scored.

However, Cristiano Jr.’s reaction shows the absolute confidence and trust that the boy has in his father. For him, there is clearly still a huge gap between his father – a 5-time Ballon d’Or winner, 5-time Champions League winner, EURO 2016 champion and countless other individual and collective titles – and the Spanish football prodigy.

This confidence is not just a matter of personal pride, but also reflects how Cristiano Jr. sees the value of a great career: not just natural talent, but also titles, specific achievements and durability over time.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.: Inheriting the legacy of his great father

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. (full name Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro Jr.) was born in 2010 in the US, the eldest son of Cristiano Ronaldo. Although only 14 years old, the boy has shown early talent and a strong love for football, promising to inherit the legacy of his great father.

Cristiano Jr. has experience playing in the world's top football academies. He played for Juventus' youth team. Then for Manchester United's youth team. And now he plays for Al-Nassr football academy in Saudi Arabia, where his father is the brightest star.

Cristiano Jr.'s outstanding features are good technique, speed, impressive finishing ability and a goal-scoring instinct just like his father. He often shows impressive scoring ability in youth team matches, making fans admire and expect a bright future.

On May 7, the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) officially confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. was called up to the Portuguese national U15 team. This is an important milestone, marking the official recognition from the home football industry, opening up opportunities for the boy to go further on the path of professional football.

Although Ronaldo has said that he wants his son to "make his own way", there is no denying the influence and guidance he has given his son. Cristiano Jr.'s confidence in his statements about Yamal also partly reflects the spirit and fierce competition that the boy has inherited from his 5-time Ballon d'Or winner father.

The "generational confrontation" of the future?

The comparison between Lamine Yamal and Cristiano Ronaldo is inevitable in football. However, the statement of CR7's son has brought a new perspective, emphasizing the importance of titles and a sustainable career. The boy has shown maturity in thinking, not only looking at pure talent but also evaluating based on specific achievements.

In the future, if both Cristiano Jr. and Lamine Yamal continue to develop in the right direction, fans can fully expect an interesting "generational confrontation" between these two young stars.

At that point, the debate about who is better will not stop at words or age comparisons – it will be decided on the pitch, through the performances and the trophies they can win. Surely, the journeys of both Lamine Yamal and Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. will continue to be the focus of football attention in the years to come.
