CRISTIANO RONALDO may be struggling for goals in Italy - but his son is certainly not.

Juventus' new superstar is still without a goal in his first three matches for the club after his blockbuster move from Real Madrid.

But while the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is drawing blanks, Junior is firing.

The eight-year-old, who was on the books at Real Madrid, scored FOUR in his debut for the Juventus Under-9s.

Italian media reported last week that Ronaldo had joined the 'Pulcini' where he was cheered on by step-mum Georgina Rodriguez.

Andrea Barzagli's son Mattia and Claudio Marchisio's son David also play for the youth team - although David may move after Claudio's release from Juve.

For the senior team, summer signing Ronaldo continues to be frustrated in front of goal, although Max Allegri's team have won three out of three so far.

The Portuguese has attempted 23 shots at goal in the three matches but is struggling to find his range.

He tried a whopping EIGHT against Parma on Saturday, but only one of those was on target.

Juventus went on to win 2-1, Mario Mandzukic and Blaise Matuidi scoring the goals.
