CRISTIANO RONALDO JR SURPASSES DAD’S TALLY – A NEW ERA BEGINS
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., 15, scores his first goal for Portugal's U16S, outpacing his father's youth timeline. The tall, powerful teenager is already making his mark as a winger, continuing the family's football legacy on the international stage.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., who is only 15 years old, scored his first goal for Portugal's U16 squad against Wales over the weekend, bringing his total number of international goals at the young team level to three.
By the age of 15, Ronaldo Sr. had yet to make his debut for any organised international team. The renowned attacker made his debut for Portugal's U15 team in February 2001, three weeks after turning sixteen, but he scored a goal against South Africa to honour the occasion.
It required the persistence of Ronaldo's Sporting CP coach, Aurélio Pereira, to persuade Carlos Dinis that the spindly winger was deserving of some playing time after a string of injuries had postponed his international call-up. Although his colleagues that day did not fare as well, he did not have a particularly awful day.
Ronaldo was the only player to receive a senior cap out of the starting lineup that faced South Africa in Torres Novas 24 years ago. Although he has made 225 appearances for Portugal so far and scored an incredible 143 goals, his son's aspirations should be cautioned by that record.
Already standing taller than his father, Ronaldo Jr. is a physically formidable teenager. "He was a little bit bigger and stronger when I was his age. I was smaller. During an appearance on Saudi Pro League: Kickoff last season, Ronaldo Sr. accurately prophesied, "I think he would be larger than me."
Ronaldo Jr. makes a notable appearance in the 2015 documentary on his father, telling him that he wants to be a goalie, much to the obvious dismay of Cristiano Sr. The teenager positioned himself on the left wing for his team against Wales on Saturday, sweeping a first-time right-footed finish into the bottom corner, but that dream was never realised.
On Tuesday, Portugal U16 and their well-known forward will return to action against England.
"Like father, like son" is the straightforward caption that Portugal's official X account used to describe the video of Ronaldo Jr.'s goal. When Ronaldo Sr. scored two goals for Al Nassr later that same day, it turned out to be especially prophetic.
The 40-year-old forward was edging closer to yet another dismal outcome on his first appearance since losing to Karim Benzema's Al Ittihad in the King's Cup, prolonging Ronaldo's hunt for a major prize in Saudi Arabia.
On Saturday, Al Nassr fell behind mid-table Al Fayha, and even after Ronaldo equalised in the 37th minute, they were still tied at 1-1 going into stoppage time in the second half. A relatively harmless aerial challenge between Mikel Villanueva and Abdulelah Al Amri led to an unannounced VAR review, which continued until the referee finally gave Al Nassr a questionable penalty kick. Ronaldo stepped up to secure three points with 104 minutes remaining, keeping his team atop the Pro League.
Regarding his spectacular penalty, Ronaldo Sr. remarked, "Today my heart beat a little faster." The same could undoubtedly be said about seeing his son advance in his own developing profession.
WORLD SERIES THRILLER: DODGERS’ GAME 7 WIN HOOKS MILLIONS
The LA Dodgers' Game 7 World Series win over the Toronto Blue Jays averaged 25.98 million viewers, making it the most-watched MLB game since 2017. The thrilling extra-innings comeback peaked at 31.5 million viewers.

Millions of people tuned in to watch the Los Angeles Dodgers' stunning second consecutive World Series victory on Saturday night because it was a compelling drama.
In a thrilling Game 7 that lasted extra innings, the Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays had spectators on the edge of their seats as the defending champions overcame a 3-0 hole to become the first repeat World Series victors in 25 years.
Fox wowed the crowd with the Dodgers' comeback, which was completed by catcher Will Smith in the top of the eleventh.
The network estimates that an average of 25.98 million people watched the battle across all Fox platforms, based on preliminary viewership figures.
The Dodgers-Blue Jays series finale is now the most-watched World Series game since the Houston Astros defeated Los Angeles in Game 7 in 2017, thanks to that number.
Miguel Rojas' game-tying solo home run in the ninth inning kept baseball fans riveted to their screens as the game continued into the late hours on the East Coast. Between 11:30 and 11:45 p.m. ET, 31.5 million people watched the game at its peak.
On average, 25.98 million people watched the LA Dodgers defeat the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series.
In the top of the eleventh inning, Dodgers catcher Will Smith blasted the game-winning solo home run.
The figures are based on Adobe Analytics data and Nielsen's quick national data. According to Front Office Sports, the exact number will be revealed later this week, along with audience statistics from Canadian broadcasters Sportsnet and TVA Sports.
Last year's Game 5 of the Dodgers-Blue Jays series, in which LA defeated the New York Yankees 4-1, was surpassed by Game 7. This year's Dodgers-Yankees game outperformed it by 40% in terms of viewership, even though it is also a big attraction for baseball enthusiasts.
The matchup on Saturday also outperformed the most recent World Series Game 7, which was the 2019 matchup between the Washington Nationals and the Astros, by a margin of 10%.
However, Saturday's first ratings are so high that they surpass both the NBA's audience figures and other World Series data.
Game 7 of the NBA Finals in June, in which the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers in an all-or-nothing match on ABC, was dominated by the contest's linear viewership. According to reports, the 2025 World Series Game 7 attracted 53% more views than the NBA finale.
With an average viewership of 16.53 million and a peak of 19.28 million in the second half, the Thunder's 103-91 triumph in June was the NBA's most-watched Finals game in six years.
However, during the opening week of the season last month, the NBA set new records for itself.
According to Front Office Sports, the league's national games (NBC, Peacock, ESPN, and Amazon Prime Video) attracted an average of 2.8 million viewers during the first week of the season. In eight years, that was the NBA's most-viewed first week.
The NBA's first games on NBC since 2002, the opening-night doubleheader on October 21, attracted 5.6 million viewers, a 90 per cent increase over the previous year's TNT opener.
ANTHONY JOSHUA REPORTEDLY SET FOR UNEXPECTED RETURN DATE ANNOUNCEMENT
Anthony Joshua is set for a surprise return to boxing in December, promoter Eddie Hearn confirms. The former heavyweight champion will fight in Riyadh, with a potential Jake Paul bout also discussed.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has predicted that Anthony Joshua will make an unexpected comeback to the ring.
Hearn said Joshua will put on his gloves again next month, but he has not confirmed who his opponent will be.
Hearn's Matchroom Boxing has three events set for December in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: December 13, 15, and 27.
Hearn told DAZN that Joshua would return on one of those dates, and he said, "Yes."
Since Daniel Dubois knocked him out at Wembley Stadium in September of last year, Joshua has not competed.
Hearn, though, has been hinting at the range of choices Joshua would have upon his return.
These include a bout in Africa (Joshua is of Nigerian descent) and a potential 2026 matchup with Tyson Fury.
Meanwhile, Fury maintains that his current boxing retirement will remain permanent.
A bout scheduled for December at rather short notice, by Joshua's standards, was not one of his expected possibilities.
Hearn was also questioned about the possibility of a fantasy contest between Joshua and Jake Paul.
Paul, a former YouTuber who is now a boxer, has drawn attention by announcing that he will face the former heavyweight champion.
Would we accept the fight, if you ask me? We would fight, of course," Hearn said to DAZN.
"It would be a pleasant way to simply wrap up this brief adventure.
"Is Jake Paul truly interested in taking on Anthony Joshua? He is insane. Given that AJ has not truly been in training camp, he might believe he can catch him off guard.
"There is not much to report at this time, but if the chance arose, it would be a fierce battle. Never say never.
