Ronaldo's son joins the national team, Messi's son still has to wait

On May 7, the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) confirmed that 14-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, the eldest son of famous player Ronaldo, has been called up to the country's U.15 team, with the message: 'The DNA of Selecao has been continued'.

After Ronaldo's son, when will Messi's son come?

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. is playing for the youth team of Al Nassr, where his father, Ronaldo, 40, is in his third season playing in the Saudi Pro League. Since childhood, Ronaldo Jr. has trained with his father. The boy joined the academy teams of famous clubs such as MU, Real Madrid, Juventus and now Al Nassr, where his famous father used to play.

At Al Nassr, Ronaldo Jr. began to show his talent, playing impressively as a winger or striker like his famous father. At the age of 12, Ronaldo Jr. was promoted to play for the Al Nassr U.15 team. The boy quickly proved his talent, becoming the main goal scorer of the Al Nassr youth team.

Being called up to the Portugal U.15 team is another step forward for Ronaldo Jr in his journey to pursue a professional football career, to continue the career of his famous father.

Ronaldo has repeatedly confided: "My wish is to continue playing until the day my son plays with me in the same club or national team. Only then can I be satisfied to retire. Let's wait and see, it depends more on me than on him."

After Ronaldo Jr was called up to the Portugal U15 team, Ronaldo was extremely happy. He expressed his love with a message on Instagram: "Very proud of you, son!".

Ronaldo Jr. will join the Portugal U15 team under coach Joao Santos, preparing to compete in the Vlatko Markovic international friendly tournament in Croatia from May 13 to 18. Here, Ronaldo Jr. and his teammates in the Portugal U15 team will face opponents from Japan, Greece, England and a fourth opponent that has not yet been determined.

Ronaldo Jr is eligible to play for teams such as the United States (where he was born), Spain (where he grew up) and Portugal (where his father was born and raised).

Meanwhile, Messi's eldest son, Thiago, now 12, plays for the Inter Miami Academy's U.13 team. He plays as a holding midfielder, while his two younger brothers, Mateo and Ciro, also play for the Inter Miami Academy's U.10 and U.6 teams, respectively.

Messi's sons are also eligible to play for Spain (where they were born and raised), or Argentina, following their father.

According to Argentine press, if Messi's eldest son, Thiago, officially pursues a professional football career, in the future he will choose to wear the Argentina national team jersey.

Thiago is a big admirer of Barcelona's 17-year-old starlet Lamine Yamal. The teenager has not yet been called up to Argentina's youth teams, but is on the radar of scouts from the Argentine Football Association, according to Argentine newspaper Diario Ole .
