After scoring a goal for Al-Nassr in a recent Saudi Pro League game, Cristiano Ronaldo gestured with three fingers to his son. The wonderful explanation for the goal celebration has now been made public.
The 39-year-old has been playing well in the 2024–2025 season. With his penalty against Al-Ettifaq, he scored three goals in four Middle Eastern division games. Additionally, he scored twice in two Saudi Cup games as Al-Hilal defeated Al-Nassr in the competition’s championship.
On Friday night, in Stefano Pioli’s first game as the team’s manager against Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq, Ronaldo was the star of the show once more. Everyone in the stadium knew one of the best penalty-takers in the world would step up as soon as the referee pointed to the penalty spot in the first half.
That was a heartfelt moment.
Having scored from 12 yards out, the Portugal international headed to the other side of the field to find his son, Cristiano Jr. This was not just a footballer celebrating a goal, but a father sharing a moment with his son. Ronaldo gestured toward his son, 14, who he had identified in the stands, then raised three fingers.
In a heartfelt moment between family members, Cristiano Jr. received the message from his father with a broad smile on his face. This was not just a goal celebration, but a family celebration, a moment of shared joy and pride.
The reason behind Ronaldo’s three-fingered gesture wasn’t immediately apparent, but it’s now been revealed. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid icon was celebrating a Ronaldo family hat-trick as his goal added to the two his son had scored earlier in the day. Playing for Al-Nassr’s youth team, the younger Ronaldo looked delighted to have completed the treble alongside his father.
Suppose Cristiano Jr. can achieve even a fraction of his father’s success. In that case, he’ll be an incredible player and continue the Ronaldo legacy. Expectations are high, which is natural given his father’s status as one of the greatest footballers ever. While it’s tough to follow in such legendary footsteps, the young talent has shown promise. If he could learn from his father’s experience, he could carve out a great career and keep the family name shining in the football world.
In addition to being one of the greatest athletes of all time, Ronaldo is also one of the most recognizable people in the world. Cristiano Jr. might need help to live up to his father’s reputation. Still, after scoring twice in one game, it’s obvious he’s headed in the right direction.
He has performed admirably for both club and country, leaving an indelible mark on the sport. His achievements are not just his own, but a testament to the power of dedication and talent in football.
Al-Nassr’s unbeaten start to the league season continued with goals from Anderson Talisca, Salem Al-Najdi, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who netted his first of the season. With this win, the team has earned eight points from a possible twelve, putting them just one point behind the leaders of the Saudi Pro League. Their strong performances indicate that Al-Nassr is becoming a formidable contender for the title, showcasing offensive power and solid teamwork as the season unfolds.The Portuguese superstar’s three goals this season are mostly to blame for this.
During the September international break, he was a key member of his country’s squad, helping them win the Nations League against Scotland in the closing seconds. Now that Ronaldo has eclipsed the 900-goal milestone, he has increased his lead as the all-time leading goalscorer in football history.
