Phil Foden’s son, Ronnie, could be on his way to internet stardom even before he fully knows what is happening around him, after amassing one million Instagram followers in less than 24 hours.
Ronnie became an internet sensation due to his charismatic dance and poses for photographs during the UEFA Champions League final celebrations.
His Manchester City star father replaced the injured Kevin De Bruyne in the first half and was pivotal in securing a 1-0 win over Inter Milan at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul.
The triumph was Man City’s first in the prestigious competition and helped complete a historic cup treble - the second for manager, Pep Guardiola.

ESPN FC spotted the followers count and reported it surpassed 1 million in less than 24 hours. He follows 64 people and has prominent followers like Chelsea star, Mason Mount.
According to Mirror UK, four-year-old Ronnie was given the nickname El Wey by some Spanish Man City fans after the final in Istanbul. The nickname is translated as 'the dude'.
