Like father, like son - Cristiano Jr showed his quality for Juventus' youth team

With all the composure of seasoned pro, Cristiano Jr could be seen spinning away from his marker with an improvised turn and leaving him for dead.

Everything about it was textbook, wait for the pressure from the opponent, then shift the ball away from him when he least expects it. That wasn't all though, with the youngster then proceeding to go through one-on-one and deceive the opposition goalkeeper by rolling his foot over the ball and prodding into the unguarded net.

Another clip showed an impressive angled finish, with Cristiano Jr appearing to play out wide where his father started his career, rather than through the middle where he currently plays.

The comments soon came pouring in, with the eight-year-old drawing numerous comparisons with his old man.

Confident, talented and wearing the number seven, the world of football may have the perfect replacement for Ronaldo, when he eventually decides to hang up his boots.
