FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above post, and found it to be misleading.
On putting the picture through Reverse Image Search, we found an image on the official website of Getty Images which is similar to the one in question.
According to the description, the picture was from October 2018 during a game between Juventus and BSC Young Boys at Allianz Stadium in Turin, Italy.
Running a search on the Getty Images website with relevant keywords and a custom date range, we found a bunch of images from the same event showing Ronaldo, Rodríguez and his son from different angles. Upon scrolling, we found the same picture as the above post.
The caption reads: “OCTOBER 02: (L-R)Georgina Rodríguez and Cristiano Ronaldo look during the Group H match of the UEFA Champions League between Juventus and BSC Young Boys at Allianz Stadium on October 2, 2018, in Turin, Italy.”
So, the viral picture in question is from 2018, NOT from the FIFA World Cup 2022 final.
