Kylian Mbappé has confessed he can only dream of leaving the same legacy at Real Madrid as the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo.
Between 2009 and 2018, Ronaldo established himself as one of the greatest footballers in history, leaving the club with a ludicrous return of 450 goals and 131 assists in just 438 appearances for Los Blancos.
While Mbappé still has a long way to go to match those numbers, the France international is making a good pace. Indeed, his tally of 58 goals in 69 games for Madrid is exactly the same as Ronaldo managed across the same period at the start of his tenure.
“But he did it for nine years, I’ve only been here one-and-a-half!” Mbappé laughed to .
“Cristiano has always been a role model, an example for me. I’m lucky to talk to him, to have him give me advice. He’s helped me.
“At Real Madrid, he’s number one, the key player. People, even now, dream of him. But I want to follow my own path. I hope people dream of me, too. Let it be a historic moment for me and for Real Madrid.”
