Asked to choose between Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappé, Cristiano Ronaldo surprisingly decided in favour of the new Madrid player and current captain of the Blues.
Created two months ago but officially launched two weeks ago, Cristiano Ronaldo’s YouTube channel is a real hit. The Portuguese striker already has nearly 60 million subscribers on the platform and does not intend to stop there. A success that he obviously owes to his immense popularity but also to the excellent content that he broadcasts.
In one of his latest videos, “CR7” invited Rio Ferdinand to ask him questions. The former Manchester United defender notably concocted a quiz for him by asking him to choose between two players. And to the question “Karim Benzema or Kylian Mbappé?”the Al-Nassr star has decided in favor of… the new number 9 of Real Madrid! With a little smile…
Responding to Karim Benzema would have been more logical for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who played with him for nine seasons at the White House, winning the Champions League four times (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018) and winning La Liga (2012, 2017) as well as the Copa del Rey (2011, 2014) twice. Among other trophies.
Benzema, too, had overlooked Ronaldo
Why did he prefer Kylian Mbappé to his ex-Merengue teammate? Many Internet users have asked themselves the question on social networks and two theories have emerged. The first is that a few months ago, “KB9” had established his “all-time” eleven and had skipped “CR7”, preferring Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo the Brazilian.
The second theory put forward is that in January 2022, in the show Telefootthe former Lyonnais had these words about Lionel Messi, the eternal rival of the Portuguese GOAT.
“You can’t criticize Messi. Anyone who criticizes him doesn’t understand anything about football.” Did Cristiano Ronaldo take it badly? He might explain it in a future video…
