Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé has once again expressed his deep admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo, describing the Portuguese star as his role model and main reference point in football.
In a recent interview, the France captain spoke about the major influence Ronaldo has had on his career, both on and off the pitch.
“Cristiano Ronaldo has always been my role model, an example for me. I’m lucky to be able to talk with him — he gives me advice, he helps me,” Mbappé said.
“Cristiano is number one. The reference of Real Madrid. People still dream about and talk about Cristiano even now,” the Frenchman concluded.
Mbappé, who followed in the footsteps of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner by joining Real Madrid, acknowledged that Ronaldo’s legacy at the Santiago Bernabéu is extraordinary and deeply inspiring.
He added that Ronaldo’s professionalism, mentality, and consistency continue to motivate him in his own pursuit of building a lasting legacy in the world of football.
