At just 14, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. plays as a forward for Al-Nassr FC U15 in Saudi Arabia and has recently made his debut for the Portugal U-15 national team.

On the flip side, Lamine Yamal is a promising 17-year-old talent for both Spain and Barcelona, known as the next big thing in football.

According to Goal, Yamal has achieved an impressive tally of 18 goals and 25 assists across all competitions. However, despite his strong performance, Cristiano Ronaldo has encouraged the media and fans to maintain realistic expectations for Yamal, reminding everyone he is still very young and has a bright career ahead. This serves as a positive example for emerging players, including his own 14-year-old son.
