Apple doesn’t fall far from tree: Cristiano Jr trains with Real Madrid

All respect to Al-Nassr, but Cristiano Ronaldo joined the Saudi side to end his career in a more relaxed mode and – why not admit it? – earn vastly. He had made a name for himself at Manchester United, becoming one of the greatest prospects in the world, while his stint with Real Madrid established him as arguably the most ruthless scorer football has ever had.His son, Cristiano Jr, made his first teenage football steps in Riyadh due to circumstances, because CR7 played there, but it was clear that the youngster would sooner or later have to seek his fortune at a much more powerful club than Al-Nassr.He’s not just player anymore: CR7 becomes co-owner of Spanish second-tier teamAnd that day seems to have come. It was only a matter of time before Ronaldo guided his boy to either Manchester or Madrid, and he apparently opted for the latter.Namely, according to The Athletic, Cristiano Jr did his first training session with Los Blancos’ U-16 team yesterday, all part of a plan to join his fa..
