But if he is to emulate his father’s football exploits, he has a lot of ground to make up since Ronaldo senior joined Sporting Lisbon at only 16 years.

While many expect him to wear out, he is still going strong at 34 and found the net for Juventus in their 1-1 draw at Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday night and has 25 goals to his name in his debut season in Italy.

His son will be hoping to grow into a footballing machine like his father who is headed for football immortality.
