Although the former Real Madrid great put in a lot of effort to achieve his achievement, the Argentine captain is thought to be a naturally gifted football player.

Cristiano Ronaldo is idolized by more than just young sportsmen. He is idolized by businesspeople, actors, actresses, basketball players, and other people.

It seems that Haaland will break a lot more records in the football world, especially if he eventually joins La Liga.

Reece James once declared his adoration for the international player from Portugal, saying:

Apart from that, James allowed fans to "ask me anything" on Twitter in 2022 when they asked him to select between Lionel Messi and Ronaldo.

Surprisingly, despite being a Blue, the Chelsea right-back chose the Portuguese maestro over the Argentine captain.

6. Alejandro Garnacho – Manchester United

Unexpectedly, although being Argentine, the outstanding player for the Red Devils is among the young footballers that adores Cristiano Ronaldo.

Alejandro Garnacho performed with him and celebrated with him since the Portuguese magnifico relocated to Al Nassr in January 2023.

Since Garnacho is an Argentine national team player, it is natural for him to look up to Lionel Messi, just like Enzo, Álvarez, and other players do.

However, Alejandro chose to look up to Cristiano Ronaldo, and he emotionally declared his love for him on social media, having played with him in the EPL for the first time.

7. Vinícius Jr – Real Madrid

As a Real Madrid player, the Brazilian youngster chose to idolize the Portuguese magnifico, he has made it known several times.

8. Kaoru Mitoma – Brighton Albion 

The young Japanese player is currently making waves at Brighton Albion, providing Roberto De Zerbi's Seagulls with significant Premier League support.

When Kaoru Mitoma was younger and playing street football, he would mimic the dribbling technique of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The baller for the Seagulls is surprisingly in the top 10 players in the Premier League for successful dribbles per ninety minutes.

Like Cristiano Ronaldo, he always moves the ball, attacks from the left wing, and wreaks havoc inside the opponent's box.

9. Mason Mount – Chelsea

It's unclear if the Englishman plays for Lionel Messi or Ronaldo. Nonetheless, he has been attempting to imitate Cristiano's playing style whenever he is on the field.

Mason Mount has now developed a free-kick technique that is akin to that of the Portuguese international who won the Ballon d'Or.

More than any other young player in the world, he has already mastered Ronaldo's free-kick tactics after watching the England international at Chelsea.

Therefore, it seems sense to draw the conclusion that Mount is one of the elite young football players who looks up to Cristiano Ronaldo in the sporting world.

10. Gabriel Martinelli – Arsenal

Similar to Bukayo Saka, the young Brazilian does not always make his love for Ronaldo public. He is one of his supporters, though.

Gabriel Martinelli professed his love for Cristiano in February 2021. He said:

"My football idol is Cristiano Ronaldo. He works so hard at everything, and for that I have the utmost respect. I share his never-satisfied nature.

This season, the Gunners star kid is making waves at Arsenal; especially when he plays from the left wing, his ball movement resembles Cristiano's.

Gabriel Martinelli is starting to become indispensable to the Gunners, suggesting that he has picked up a lot of knowledge from the Portuguese magnifico.

11. Matthijs de Ligt – Bayern Munich

Seeing a center back look up to Cristiano Ronaldo is quite remarkable, as the majority of players who do so are strikers or attackers.

Matthijs de Ligt once made his affection for the Portuguese known, he said:

"When we used to play football in the garden, I always wanted to be Cristiano Ronaldo."

In the meantime, the Dutch center back, who had always looked up to him, joined Juventus in 2019 after leaving Ajax.

Matthijs de Ligt does occasionally make some impressive plays. He obviously took inspiration from Cristiano Ronaldo, maybe even copying his playing style.

12. Joao Felix – Chelsea

To be fair, the Atletico Madrid loanee said in a 2019 interview with Record that he always looks up to Cristiano Ronaldo.

"I look up to Cristiano; he's my hero from childhood and everything."

Felix is a young person who, in addition to Kylian Mbappe, is an ardent follower of the former Manchester United player. He has performed with him on multiple occasions.

They both hail from the same nation, and seeing his playing style, he typically plays shots and attacks akin to the Portugal magnifico.

Joao Felix reportedly questioned Ronaldo prior to his 2023 loan move to CHELSEA, which implies the 38-year-old great gives him a lot of guidance.

13. Bukayo Saka – Arsenal

The Gunners' star boy is one of the young footballers that looks up to Cristiano Ronaldo, but apparently not everyone knows this. However, he has made it clear how much he loves him.

Bukayo Saka affirmed that he wants to emulate the Portuguese marvel in order to reach his greatest potential in football.

Even so, the Englishman attacks from the right wing, much like Lionel Messi. He made the decision to adopt Ronaldo's winning mindset.
