BoxingFootage of Ronaldo’s Youngest Son Singing and Dancing in Barcelona Shirt Causes Stir Online
- Cristiano Ronaldo's youngest son, Mateo, caused shockwaves on social media
- Mateo, who turns six in June, was spotted in a Barcelona kit
- He danced and sang to ‘Peaches’ by Jack Black in his mother's post on Instagram
Cristiano Ronaldo's youngest son, Mateo, has turned social media upside down with his choice of shirt in footage making rounds on the internet.
Mateo's footballing dad, Ronaldo, spent nine trophy-laden seasons with Real Madrid, Barcelona's fiercest rivals. Hence it came as a huge surprise, particularly to Los Blancos fans, who spotted the five-year-old dancing and singing in the Catalan kit.
In a video posted by Georgina Rodriguez, Ronaldo's partner, seen by Sports Brief, Mateo, who wore Barcelona's home kit, was filmed together with his siblings Alana Martina and Eva singing and vibing to a choreographed dance.
The video has since sparked mixed reactions on social media, considering Mateo's dad's long-standing rivalry with Barca, who recently won their 27th La Liga crown, per Besoccer.
During Ronaldo's stint with Real Madrid, the 38-year-old reached hallowed heights with the Spanish giants, scoring a staggering 451 goals in 438 games, including an impressive 20 goals in 34 matches against the Blaugrana, Transfermarkt reports.
Cristiano currently plies his trade in Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr, where he has notched 13 goals in 14 matches as the Knights of Nahd chase their first league crown in four years.
Here is the video:
How did fans react to Mateo's video?
@dadson_yaw jokingly claimed Ronaldo will disown Mateo and split with Georgina:
"He dey com disown his son and break up with the girlfriend."
@RashfordBa was stunned:
"Ei Barca jersey no no."
Another user, @skylene6, wrote:
"This says a lot about Ronaldo and what others think of him."
@steven_avah1 hailed CR7 for not imposing his likes on his kids:
"Man doesn't force his kids to do what he likes but what they like. That's why he's my Goat."

Cristiano Ronaldo to Bayern Munich?
Meanwhile, Sports Brief reported that a German business tycoon has offered to finance a deal to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to Bayern Munich.
Ronaldo was linked with a potential transfer to Bayern last summer, following his departure from Manchester United in November last year, but ultimately chose to join Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, where he now commands a staggering annual salary of £173 million.
But businessman Marcus Schon is bent on bringing the five-time Ballon d'Or winner back to Europe. The German millionaire reportedly reached out to Bayern Munich's CEO Oliver Kahn via email, expressing his interest in financially supporting a potential transfer.
