Kylian Mbappe has been drooling over Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of France’s clash with Portugal and he praised the Portugal legend in his pre-match press conference.
Pictures of a childish Mbappe in his childhood room and posters of Cristiano Ronaldo ensured their relationship was clear. The Frenchman is a huge fan of the Al Nasr legend and he proved it with his latest statement.
Baappe didn’t stop at diplomacy when asked about Ronaldo ahead of France’s Euro 2024 quarter-final clash with Portugal. The 25-year-old forward praised the Portuguese, calling him a unique player, but made it clear that his goal is to qualify with the Blues.
“It’s a pleasure, everyone knows my admiration for Ronaldo. He is an icon, a unique player and there will never be another like him. We are always in touch. He will remain a legend in football, but tomorrow I hope we can win,” he initially said, and when asked if he would follow in Ronaldo’s footsteps and join Real Madrid, he added:
“I’m going to Real Madrid to write my own story, not the next chapter of Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano’s story in Madrid is unique and special and I hope mine will be the same. Ronaldo left his mark in football history and he inspired entire generations.”
