Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to dedicate a goal to his son after scoring again in Al-Nassr's 3-0 victory against Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League.
The superstar held up three fingers in a touching gesture and directed them toward where his son, Cristiano Jr, was sitting in the stands.
Ronaldo led the line for Stefano Pioli's side in his first game in charge and was handed the opportunity to net from the penalty spot in the first half.
Unsurprisingly, the 39-year-old kept his cool to convert from 12 yards and then wheeled away to share a heartwarming moment with his son.
After running toward the stand, Ronaldo picked out Cristiano Jr, aged 14, and with a beaming smile, he held up three fingers.
According to ESPN, Ronaldo's gesture came after his son scored two goals earlier in the day for Al-Nassr's youth side - meaning they netted a hat-trick together.
The youngster netted for the club's Under-15s in a 4-0 win over Al Qadsiah and just hours later took his seat to watch his father put his opponents to the sword.
In the end, Ronaldo was made to settle for just one goal with Salem Al-Najdi and Talisca bagging in the second half to round off a comfortable victory.
Cristiano Jr has been tipped to go on to enjoy a stellar career at the top level. He has been playing in Saudi Arabia since his dad's move to the Kingdom two years ago.
The teenager has also turned out for Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United, following in his father's footsteps.
However, Ronaldo Snr has no plans to force him into continuing his legacy.
'I will never pressure him. He will do what he wants,' he said in 2022.
'Also what I want the most for Christianity and everyone else is that they're happy and that they choose what they want. I will support you in any way.'
Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo recently scored his 900th goal for club and country combined and has expressed his desire to reach the 1000 milestone.
His wait could eventually see him cross paths with Cristiano Jnr. '
He said: 'My son tells me: "Dad, hold on a few more years, I want to play with you".'
