This is a compliment that should make Kylian Mbappé smile. Since his emergence at the highest level, the French international has never hidden his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo, whose face covered the wall of his bedroom when he was younger. The striker has followed in his idol’s footsteps a little more by signing during the off-season with Real Madrid. For the time being, Mbappé is struggling to convince despite scoring twice against Real Betis, his first goals in La Liga. In any case, Cristiano Ronaldo is not worried about his young friend, as he confided on his YouTube channel: “Kylian Mbappé will do very well at Real Madrid. The club has a solid structure, with an excellent coach and a high-quality president.”
“Mbappé can win the Ballon d’Or” assures CR7
Beyond his success at Real Madrid, the Portuguese believes that Kylian Mbappé has all the weapons to win the Ballon d’Or: “Kylian Mbappé can win the Ballon d’Or in the coming years, probably Haaland or Bellingham too.” Having struggled in recent months, the Frenchman will first and foremost have to find his best form if he hopes to claim such individual distinctions.
