Cristiano Ronaldo said he was “very proud” of his eldest son after he made his debut for Portugal Under-15s.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr came on in the 54th minute of a 4-1 win against Japan in a tournament Croatia on Tuesday.

The 14-year-old was watched on by grandmother Dolores Aveiro, Ronaldo Sr’s mother.

It was also reported that scouts from Manchester United – a former club of Ronaldo Sr – and several other top European clubs were in attendance to watch Ronaldo Jr.

Rafael Cabral scored a hat-trick for Portugal before Ronaldo Jr came off the bench.

Ronaldo Sr, 40, has scored 136 goals for Portugal, a record in men’s football.

He captained Portugal to their first major title at Euro 2016 and the Nations League title in 2019.

Ronaldo Jr is at Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia with his father, who signed for the Pro League club in 2022.

Ronaldo Sr forward has four other children – twins Eva and Mateo, 7, Alana Martina, 7, and Bella, 3.
