WATCH: Cristiano Ronaldo challenges son to adorable free kick contest with miniature ball

Only one winner

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. and Gareth Bale have something in common.

Cristiano Ronaldo won’t let either of them score.

But we will admit that Ronaldo’s relationship with his son looks a lot better than his on-the-field partnership with Gareth Bale.

We don’t reckon the Portuguese would have thrown a strop if his son would have found the target when the pair went head-to-head in a free kick competition in their Madrid back garden.

Ronaldo beat the youngster, as well as a seemingly impenetrable wall of a penguin, The Hulk and Anger from Inside Out when he dinked the ball into the inflatable goal for a rare successful free kick.

His celebration was pretty damn adorable, to be fair… ‘Siii’ and all.
