Watch Marcelo’s son Enzo, 12, nail Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘siu’ celebration after scoring for Real Madrid’s youth team
MARCELO’S son Enzo copied his father’s old team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo’s celebration after scoring for Real Madrid.
The 12-year-old starlet is following in Marcelo‘s footsteps at Real but plays in a slightly more advanced position.
Playing in the LaLiga Promises tournament, Enzo cut inside off the left-hand side and placed his shot into the bottom left corner, catching the Liverpool keeper flat-footed.
To celebrate, the Real No9 copied Manchester United ace Ronaldo’s iconic ‘siu’ celebration, whilst dad Marcelo celebrated in the stands.
Enzo didn’t stop there, as he grabbed another against the Reds in the 6-0 win.
The youngster could carry the family legacy on at Real once Marcelo leaves.

“I’m calm and I feel protected. I’m not thinking too far ahead. Everything comes to an end.
“I’d like to retire here, but it’s not up to me to make the decision.”
Real icon and record goal scorer Ronaldo may have the same ambitions as Marcelo and one day play alongside his son.
Ronaldo’s son Cristiano Jr is on the books at Manchester United and is keen to follow in his father’s footsteps.
Cristiano Jr has proved to be quite the goal scorer.
In Juventus’ ranks at U9s level a couple years ago, he netted over 50 goals in 28 games and picked up 18 assists.
