Cristiano Ronaldo and his son both scored on the 22nd anniversary of his first goal for Manchester United! The legend continues, bringing him closer to the 1000-goal milestone.

Saturday was a perfect day for Cristiano Ronaldo and his son. On this memorable occasion, both scored goals. Ronaldo reached his 952nd career goal, while his son netted for the first time with Portugal's under-16 national team.

At 40 years old, Ronaldo scored a last-minute penalty in the Saudi Professional League, securing a brace that led Al Nassr to a 2-1 victory over Al Feiha. The team remains unbeaten after seven rounds in the Saudi Pro League and sits at the top of the table. Ronaldo has scored 8 goals in 7 matches, maintaining excellent form.

Ronaldo was responsible for both goals for his team. The first came late in the first half from a brilliant team effort, with Ronaldo timing his run perfectly to score and equalize. He then carried the ball back to the center circle, eager to add more goals.

The winning goal eventually came, but only in the 104th minute and in dramatic fashion. Although the penalty decision was controversial, Ronaldo’s powerful strike was precise and clean. The evergreen Ronaldo, if he plays for another two or three years, is likely to reach the 1000-goal career milestone soon. Data shows that since the start of this century, he has scored 179 goals with his left foot, just 5 fewer than Salah.

Ronaldo’s son scored his first goal for Portugal’s youth team in their 3-0 win over Wales. The 15-year-old forward had only recently debuted for Portugal’s U16 side this week and scored in his second match. He came on as a substitute at the 42nd minute and quickly helped break the deadlock.

From the edge of the box, Ronaldo Jr. fired a precise right-foot shot into the bottom right corner of the net. Cristiano Ronaldo also reacted to his son’s goal, posting three fire emojis. Ronaldo Jr. previously played in Manchester United’s youth system alongside Kai Rooney, son of his former teammate Wayne Rooney. Unfortunately, after Ronaldo’s fallout with the club, the dream of the two youngsters playing together in the first team was dashed.

The goals by Ronaldo and his son on Saturday coincided with an important career anniversary held in Portugal. On November 1, 2003, the young Portuguese winger, known as “Little Ronaldo,” scored his first professional and Manchester United goal against Portsmouth.

That match ended in a 3-0 victory for Manchester United, with Little Ronaldo scoring the second goal. The other scorers were Diego Forlan and Roy Keane. The Portuguese teenager scored from a curling left-footed free kick that looked like a cross, and his flowing hair during the celebration left a lasting impression on fans.

Little Ronaldo later became a club legend, scoring 145 goals for Manchester United at Old Trafford and winning Premier League and Champions League titles. Now, 22 years later, Ronaldo’s son has scored internationally, and Ronaldo himself continues to compete at the highest level, showcasing his greatness.

Ruben Amorim, a former Portuguese teammate of Ronaldo who is now Manchester United’s head coach, commented on Ronaldo’s achievements: “We all know Cristiano is a Manchester United legend and a role model for Portugal. He is a very important figure for our country and an example for all Portuguese people.”

Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker who has admired Ronaldo since childhood, also praised him: “The moment Ronaldo scores his 1000th goal will be the greatest achievement an athlete can accomplish.”
