Watch: Cristiano Ronaldo can't keep calm as son scores amazing goal copying his style
Lisbon: Cristiano Ronaldo needs no introduction when it comes to scoring jaw-dropping goals. From his days as a young winger with raw pace and skill to now a lethal box-poacher, the Real Madrid star has scored a bucket load of goals in his football career.
And now son Cristiano Ronaldo Junior is already showing signs that he could well carry on his father’s legacy in the future.
Following Portugal’s 3-0 easy warm-up win over Algeria at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, Ronaldo’s son took the field to practice some top corner tekkers. Just like his father does, the 7-year-old scored a stunning free-kick outside the box which headed straight to the top left corner. The 33-year-old forward could not hide a huge smile after being impressed by his son.

With talisman Cristiano Ronaldo back in the side, Portugal strolled to a 3-0 win through a brace from Paris Saint-Germain forward Goncalo Guedes, who spent last season on loan at Valencia, and another strike from Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes secured a comfortable success.
It was a welcome boost for the European champions, who hadn't won since March and were held to draws by Tunisia (2-2) and Belgium (0-0) in their previous two friendlies.
Having been given some extra time off following Real Madrid's Champions League final victory over Liverpool, Ronaldo made his 150th international appearance for Portugal.
And his very presence sparked a marked improvement in Portugal's attacking thrust as he was involved in almost every dangerous move the hosts conjured until he was replaced on 74 minutes.
Portugal begin their World Cup campaign in Sochi against Spain on June 15. Algeria did not qualify.
