It seems like the sky is the limit for the young lad.

But Ronaldo has tempered expectations by admitting it will be difficult for his son will reach his heights.

“I hope that Cris, my son, can be like his dad. He says he is going to be better (than me), but I think it's difficult,” the 34-year-old told beIN Sports last year, per the Daily Mail.
