Cristiano Ronaldo’s son, Cris Jr., probably knows that his father is pretty damn good at kicking a ball around, but it looks like he may believe one of daddy’s biggest rivals to be just a bit better.
Just after being named the 2014 Ballon D’Or winner, Ronaldo bumped into Lionel Messi in the lobby of Zurich’s Kongresshaus, where the awards were being held. It was then that young Cris Jr. pointed at Messi and jumped at the chance to meet him:
Real Madrid’s Portugal captain Ronaldo told his arch-rival Messi: “He [Cris Jr.] watches a video on the internet of all of us and he talks about you,” prompting a coy reaction from his son. Barcelona forward Messi chuckled and asked the young Cristiano how he was doing. “You are embarrassed now!” Ronaldo then laughed to his son.
Ronaldo shouldn’t be too offended. His son is coming up in the YouTube age so whenever he wants to peep his father’s skills and compare them to Messi’s, it’ll be easy enough.
Here are some highlights of both Ronaldo and Messi in case you want to make the call for yourself:
