ALBAWABA – Following Portugal’s triumph over Spain in the UEFA Nations League finals, a fresh report emerged indicating that Cristiano Ronaldo believes Barcelona’s rising star, Lamine Yamal, resembles his son quite a bit.
As reported by The Touchline, Ronaldo remarked, “My son and Lamine Yamal have a lot in common—their skin tone, their hairstyles… They are just three years apart. I really like Lamine Yamal, and my son looks up to him.”
This comment put to rest ongoing speculation about a supposed altercation between the two football talents during the match, sparked by footage capturing Yamal’s intense gaze directed at Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo: “My son and Lamine Yamal are quite similar.”
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.
