'He tells me that Mbappe is better': Cristiano Ronaldo Reveals Son Matteo Thinks Kylian Mbappe Is Better Footballer than the Real Madrid Legend

After a rocky start in the Spanish capital, Kylian Mbappe has settled into his stride as a Real Madrid forward. The French national has begun to score more frequently now and with that the question has emerged regarding whether he can he score as many in a season as the club legend Cristiano Ronaldo used to put on season after season. While Mbappe has to travel a long way to get anywhere near the tally of CR7, in the eyes of Ronaldo's son, the 26-year-old has already formed an image of a better footballer than his father.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Son Thinks Mbappe is Better than CR7

Ronaldo, in a recent interaction, has made an admission about what one of his sons thinks of Mbappe. The Al Nassr superstar revealed that his son, Matteo, is a huge fan of Mbappe and even considers him a better player than his father.

“My son Mateo loves Mbappe. He tells me that Mbappe is better than you. I tell him that your father was better, he has more goals,” Ronaldo told La Sexta.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid legacy may live on forever but fans have high hopes with Kylian Mbappe. Real Madrid waited patiently to bring Mbappe on board and since he is in the squad, the sky is a limit for the Frenchman. To reach Ronaldo, Mbappe would not just have to pile up goals but also have to mirror the Portuguese superstar in the fitness quotient as well. Moreover, in his prime Ronaldo was a complete footballer, who could score from both feet, used to have a towering presence during the corner setpiece and was the designated freekick taker as well. Mbappe on the other hand lacks the attributes that Ronaldo possessed while playing for the club, but it should be noted that football has changed over the years and now the generational talents have their characteristics.
