Cristiano Ronaldo (40, Al Nasr), who will face off on the 9th (Korea time), and Ramin Yamal (18, Barcelona), who will face off each other, are very different in their teenage years.
According to an article that re-examined Ronaldo's 17-year-old days on the 8th, Ronaldo lived in a boarding house using public transportation in 2001 while playing for the Portuguese club Sporting Youth Team. There were no social network services at the time.
In an interview with the broadcaster `Sport TV" at the time, teenage Ronaldo said `I don't spend much time at home. You come home, you just sleep, and then you go out again." I was also caught talking to a colleague about the video gain console. It's an unimaginable scene in the Yamal Age.
Ronaldo also said that the monthly profit ranges from 200 euros (current exchange rate of about 310,000 won) to 300 euros (about 460,000 won). My mother keeps money in the bank. When I tell my mother when I need money, she sends money to the bank. That's our way of life."

According to a report by Spain 'El Pais', Yamal recently signed an extension contract with Barcelona until 2031, with his weekly salary jumping to 290,000 pounds (about 540 million won). It is incomparable to young Ronaldo.
Ronaldo gradually rose to prominence in Sporting from the age of 17. In the 2002-2023 season, he played in 25 games and scored three goals in the Portuguese Primera Liga (first division). Through this performance, he moved to Manchester United in 2003 and gained wings in his career.
Yamal scored five goals in 37 Spanish Primera Liga games in the 2023-2024 season and nine goals in 35 La Liga games in the 2024-2025 season. He scored 18 goals (55 matches) including the Cup, leading Barcelona's double (Lariga, Copadelay). He is mentioned as a strong candidate for the Ballon d'Or. Ronaldo first won the Ballon d'Or in 2008 when he was 23.
Compared to Yamal, Ronaldo, who scored a potency late, reigned as the world's best player for nearly 20 years. He has won four European Champions League titles and five Ballon d'Or titles. Yamal is already considered one of the best players in the world when Ronaldo was riding a bus for the Sporting Youth Team, but he took on the task of maintaining this momentum for a long time to surpass Ronaldo.
