“I don’t know when you grew so much” - Georgina Rodriguez in awe of Cristiano Ronaldo Jr as he scores goal for Al-Nassr youth team
Georgina Rodriguez was in awe of Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.'s performance after the youngster recently scored a goal for Al-Nassr's youth team. Ronaldo Jr lined up for his side and found the net from the penalty spot.
Georgina was in the stands for the game and shared clips on her Instagram story. One of her posts captured moments before the match as Ronaldo Jr lined up with his teammates for pre-match formalities. With the camera focused on him, she captioned the post:
"I don’t know when you grew so much. We love you."
In another post, she shared a clip of when the 14-year-old stepped up and calmly despatched the ball into the net from the penalty mark. Like his superstar father, Ronaldo Jr sidestepped, took a shot run followed by a right-footed strike to send the goalkeeper the wrong way.
His teammates quickly swarmed around him as they celebrated the goal while Georgina enjoyed the moment from the stands.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr has shown promising signs of becoming a professional footballer. Last term, he helped Al-Nassr's youth team win their league title. He will be looking to follow in his father's footsteps. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is one of the most prolific goalscorers of the game and recently reached a record-breaking 900 career goals.
Cristiano Ronaldo fires blank as Al-Nassr escape defeat against Al-Ahli
Cristiano Ronaldo failed to get on the scoresheet on Friday (September 13) as Al-Nassr were held to a 1-1 draw by Al-Ahli. Fresh from the international break where he scored one each against Croatia and Scotland in the UEFA Nations League, the 39-year-old led the line for his side.
However, he failed to add to his league tally as the Knights of Najd escaped defeat by a whisker. Al-Nassr almost suffered their first league loss of the season, but a late Bassam Mohammed Alhurayji goal canceled a 57th-minute Franck Kessie strike for Al-Ahli as the two sides shared the spoils.
Al-Nassr are currently sixth in the league standings with five points from three games. Meanwhile, Ronaldo has two goals and one assist from three league appearances this season for Al-Nassr.
