Ronaldo: 'My son will be better than me'

The superstar, born in 1985, 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 views on CNN : "As human beings, we all have a selfish side 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 off-ball movement, qualities reminiscent of his father in his youth.

Two consecutive international titles in 2025 are testament to the rapid maturation 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 he's playing football or doing anything else. He shouldn't live in his father's shadow, because that pressure is immense," Ronaldo added.

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

Ronaldo's statement effectively shattered the scenario of CR7 and his son playing together for the Portuguese national team.
