In a recent interview with streamer Rakai, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, son of the legendary Portuguese striker, acknowledged that Lamine Yamal is currently better than his father, although he did not hesitate to strongly defend Cristiano Ronaldo’s legacy.
When asked who his favorite player was, Cristiano Jr. answered without hesitation: “My dad”. However, when confronted by the influencer with the claim that Lamine Yamal is superior, the youngster responded with sincerity and pride: “Right now? Yes. Lamine is very good, but he hasn’t won anything yet.” Dressed in the Portugal national team jersey with the number 7 – the same as his father’s – Cristiano Jr. made it clear that the current talent does not surpass the history and legacy built.
What has Lamine Yamal achieved in 2025?
At just 18 years of age, Lamine Yamal is already one of the brightest stars of FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team.
To date, he has won five major titles:

The young striker is admired for his maturity, technique and speed, and has been compared to legends such as Messi and Iniesta.
Nevertheless, Cristiano Ronaldo boasts a career full of achievements that are hard to match.
