Playing in the LaLiga Promises tournament, Enzo cut inside off the left-hand side and placed his shot into the bottom left corner, catching the keeper flat footed.
To celebrate, the Real No9 copied Manchester United ace Ronaldo’s iconic ‘siu’ celebration, whilst dad Marcelo celebrated in the stands.
Enzo didn’t stop there, as he grabbed another against Liverpool in the 6-0 win.
The youngster could carry the family legacy on at Real once Marcelo leaves.

“Now we have important matches. I’m the captain of the best team in the world.
“I’m calm and I feel protected. I’m not thinking too far ahead. Everything comes to an end.
“I’d like to retire here, but it’s not up to me to make the decision.”
Real icon and record goal scorer Ronaldo may have the same ambitions as Marcelo and one day play alongside his son.

Cristiano Jr has proved to be quite the goal scorer. In Juventus’ ranks at U9s level a couple years ago, he netted over 50 goals in 28 games and picked up 18 assists.
