Kylian Mbappe’s praises of the legend Cristiano Ronaldo did not stop before their anticipated confrontation in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024, when the French national team will play against the Portuguese national team.
It is known that Mbappé takes Ronaldo as his role model, and nothing is more evident than the fact that he put a picture of himself with him when he was young during his announcement of his move to Real Madrid.
The Frenchman spoke to the media about Ronaldo before the upcoming match, saying, “It does not matter what happens in the Euros, whether Ronaldo wins or loses or plays well or not, he is a legend in any case.”
He also added, “Everyone knows how much I appreciate Ronaldo as a player. I was lucky to be with him, know him, and talk to him. We still have communication and he never stops helping me. He always follows me and gives me advice.”
He continued, “I have a lot of respect for Cristiano, but I hope he is not happy after our match together because I want us to reach the semi-finals.”
When asked if he would be Ronaldo’s successor at Real Madrid, he replied, “My dream of playing for Real Madrid has become a reality, and I dream of leaving a mark in football.”
He concluded, “But I don’t want to write the next chapter in Cristiano Ronaldo’s story. I want to be unique and completely different. I want to write my own story.”
