Al Nassr’s under-13 team has achieved a historic milestone by winning the U13 Saudi Pro League championship. The team shared the news on their official Instagram account, congratulating the players on their exceptional accomplishment. This season, the team received a significant boost with the addition of Cristiano Jr, the son of the renowned player. Cristiano Jr played a crucial role in the team’s success and emerged as one of their key contributors.
The Al Nassr supporters will be overjoyed by this news, especially after a disappointing performance by the senior team in the Riyadh Season Cup. The men’s team suffered a 2-0 defeat against their rivals, Al Hilal. Despite the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to the squad, the Portuguese superstar failed to find the back of the net despite several opportunities.
The Middle Eastern club took to Instagram to express their congratulations to the young superstars for their remarkable victory. They shared a post stating, “Final whistle 🤩 AlNassr U13 team are the Champions 🏆 Our boys did it 3 weeks before their last fixture! Congratulations to our young stars, the future is looking bright! 💛”
Cristiano Jr signed a long-term contract with Al Nassr’s U13 team in October 2023 and has quickly adapted to playing alongside his new teammates. Similar to his father, he wears the number seven jersey and has impressed everyone with his outstanding performances.
The young star, Cristiano Jr, has garnered attention on the grassroots level with his impressive displays. However, it appears that he has even higher ambitions for his future. In an interview last year, the captain of Al Nassr spoke about his son’s desire to play alongside him. Cristiano shared, “My son tells me: Dad, hold on a few more years, I want to play with you!”
If Cristiano Jr wants to fulfill his dream of playing alongside his father, he has a long journey ahead of him. It is worth noting that Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Al Nassr, is currently 39 years old and would have to continue playing for at least three to four more years to make this possible. Do you think Cristiano Ronaldo will have a long enough career to play alongside his son? A situation similar to LeBron and Bronny could be in the cards!
