How Ronaldo's son didn't recognise Lionel Messi because he looked too short to be him
Earlier, Briefly News reported that Cristiano Ronaldo's first son met his father's long-time rival, Lionel Messi, during the 2017 Ballon d'Or ceremony and the youngster thought the Argentine was too short to be real.
The 11-year-old had the opportunity to see the Argentine in real life at the gala four years ago when he picked his fifth award presentation.
And due to the Paris Saint Germain's 5ft 5in height, Ronaldo Jr actually found it difficult to believe it was him when his grandmother pointed the Barcelona legend to him.
SunSport quoting Dolores Aveiro, Ronaldo’s mother, revealed the funny incident during an interview she gave about a year ago. She said:
“I was with him and I said, ‘look, it's Messi,’ and he replied, ‘that's not Messi, he's short.’ Then my son encouraged him to wave.
"Messi is a very good person. My grandson is already taller than him, [laughs] it was a very fun moment.”
