Ronaldo's son dances with a Barcelona shirt (Instagram, Georgina Rodriguez)
An innocent video posted on Saturday by Georgina Rodriguez, Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend, drew quite a few reactions among football fans around the world for one small reason that may seem negligible, but has symbolic significance: Cristiano's son is seen dancing in his house wearing a shirt of ... Barcelona!
As we know, today Cristiano Ronaldo plays in the Saudi league, and it seems that he is already beyond his prime, but football fans all over the world do not forget the glory days of the legendary Portuguese, when he was the star of Real Madrid (the top scorer in its history) and the terror of Barcelona and its fans.

Ronaldo was the symbol of Real Madrid at a time when their rivalry with Barcelona was the hottest thing in world football, amid his struggles with Leo Messi as the two best players in the world. That is why for many it is inconceivable even today, many years later, that a member of Cristiano's family is wearing the shirt of his former greatest rival.
The online reactions, of course, were stormy. Some argued that it only showed Cristiano's "greatness" and his skills as a parent who allows his children to choose popular groups as they please and does not limit them. Some claimed that he had "grown old" and forgotten where he came from, and was being disrespectful to his past. Many criticized Georgina herself, who posted a private photo that should not have been uploaded, while some Barca fans were delighted: "Even Cristiano's son already understands who the biggest club in the world is."
