TalkSport reports that the teenage sensation recently played a key role in helping the Al-Nassr Under-13s win the Saudi U13 Premier League title.

The publication adds that Cristiano Jr was the captain of the team as they triumphed to lift the prestigious trophy.

Ronaldo Senior and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, wasted no time expressing their joy regarding their son's success.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner reshared a post by Al-Nassr and said:

"Congrats team," along with a fist and trophy emoji.

On her part, Rodriguez posted:

"Mini The Best," along with five hearts and a crown emoji.

Ronaldo yet to win the Saudi title

The youngster's recent achievement could leave his veteran dad under pressure, with the Portugal international yet to lift the Saudi Pro League title since he joined Al-Nassr in January 2023.

The Knights of Najd, who currently sit second in the Saudi Pro League standings, finished second last season behind champions, Al-Hilal.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo was unable to inspire his side to victory on Monday night when he returned to action against Al Ain after serving a one-match ban.

According to The Guardian, the 39-year-old was sanctioned by the Saudi Arabian FA after his crude gesture towards rival fans last week.

Georgina hints at Ronaldo's retirement date

In a related report, Sports Brief reported on Rodriguez indirectly disclosing Ronaldo's retirement plans.

Despite reaching the age of 39, the veteran has displayed remarkable professionalism during his career.

The Portuguese star is seemingly not slowing down, with the veteran hitting fresh milestones each day.
