The 40-year-old forward highlighted physical resemblances between the two, noting their similar appearance despite the three-year age difference.
"My son and Lamine Yamal look very much alike, their skin colour, their hairstyle. They're three years apart. I like Lamine Yamal a lot, and my son also admires him a lot," Ronaldo said.
