Ronaldo's reaction when his son was benched.

The superstar born in 1985 expressed his pride when his son made his first appearance for the national youth team.

Ronaldo was a substitute in his debut match for the Portugal U15 team.

"Congratulations to my son on his debut for the Portugal U15 team. I am so proud of you," Cristiano Ronaldo shared on his personal page.

Despite his son being on the bench, Ronaldo expressed pride, as this was a significant milestone in Ronaldo Jr.'s career. Before becoming a superstar, Ronaldo also began his career playing for the Portuguese U15 team in 2001. After just over two years, he made remarkable progress and was called up to the national team at the age of 18.

Despite having a superstar father, a living legend of Portuguese football, Ronaldo Jr. was not given preferential treatment when called up to the youth national team. In the friendly match against Japan on May 13th, Ronaldo's eldest son was benched and only played for about 20 minutes.

When he came onto the field, Ronaldo Jr. wasn't playing in his preferred position as an attacking midfielder or forward. The 14-year-old talent was deployed as a left winger. Ronaldo Jr. frequently had to drop deep to defend and didn't have many opportunities to push forward in attack.

Throughout his time on the pitch, Cristiano's son didn't have a single shot on goal. Nevertheless, he successfully neutralized the attacking threats on the right wing of the Japanese U15 team.
