Ronaldo: 'My son will be better than me'

The 1985-born superstar hopes his son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. will have a more successful career than him.

Ronaldo has high expectations for his son.

When asked about his son's future, Ronaldo expressed his opinion on CNN : "As humans, we are all a bit selfish and don't want anyone to be better than us. But I hope my children will be better than me. I will never be jealous of him."

At the age of 15, Cristiano Jr. won two international titles with the Portuguese youth team in just one year. CR7's son impressed with his confidence, speed and movement off the ball, qualities reminiscent of his father in his youth.

Two consecutive international titles in 2025 are a testament to the rapid maturity of Cristiano Jr., who is expected to continue his father's illustrious football legacy in the future.

“I don’t want to put pressure on him. The important thing is that my son is happy, whether playing football or doing anything else. Don’t live under the shadow of your father, because that pressure is huge,” Ronaldo added.

Also in the interview, Ronaldo spoke about his retirement plans: "After 25 years of dedicating myself to football, I will soon hang up my boots. Probably in a year or two. The 2026 World Cup will be my last major tournament. I am sure of this. I will enjoy every moment on the pitch."

Ronaldo's statement seems to have dispelled the scenario of CR7 and his father playing together in the Portuguese national team shirt.

Ronaldo's son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr's unbelievable tackle caused a stir on social media with his handling like a real center back in the latest match of the Al Nassr youth team.
