THIS is Cristiano Ronaldo's son's incredible reaction towards Lionel Messi after his dad was named Fifa's Best player.
The Real Madrid superstar picked up the gong ahead of his Barcelona arch-rival at the London Palladium ceremony.
Votes from managers, captains and media from footballing nations were 43 per cent in favour of Ronaldo, with Messi winning 19 per cent and Neymar seven per cent.
Portugal captain Ronaldo has revealed Cristiano Jr, seven, is a fan of Messi.
But the youngster was ultimately more pleased to see his father scoop the gong.
And he let it known to the Barcelona ace by flashing him a toothy grin during his dad's acceptance speech.
Cristiano Jr, sitting alongside Ronaldo's pregnant girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, looked as smart as his stylish father in a suave tuxedo.
He will one day hope to be accepting his own football awards having taken the game up at an early age.

The former Manchester United forward insists his boy - who recently became a brother to twins Eva and Mateo, and has another sibling on the way - is on track to become a pro but will not force him to follow in his footsteps.
