Following Cristiano Ronaldo's loss in the King's Cup final to Al-Hilal, his son Cristiano Jr's comments made to Yacine Bonnou have resurfaced.
Cristiano Jr had told the Moroccan shot-stopper in a previous meeting when he first joined the Blue Waves that:
'Bono, we will see when my father scores some goals against you."
Cristiano Ronaldo moved to the Saudi Pro League roughly the same time Bounou did, but despite his proficiency, he has not scored against him excelt shootouts. The Los Blancos legend has in fact not beaten the Moroccan in any competition they have faced each other in.

Young Cristiano Jr and his father were left frustrated after their side lost to Al-Hilal on penalties in the King's Cup final. The defeat saw the Portuguese legend end the season without a trophy despite setting a goal scoring record in the league.
The Moroccan shot-stopper who might be building a reputation as the Los Blancos legend's nemesis will not care, though. The result in the final makes it six consecutive games for club and country where Ronaldo has been unable to get a win over Bounou.
