Kylian Mbappe has considered Cristiano Ronaldo as his idol since childhood. He fell in love with football after watching this Portuguese star. Mbappe, who considers himself his hero in football, has now reached the record of the one he considers his hero. The Real Madrid forward calls himself lucky to reach Ronaldo’s record.
Real Madrid won 3-2 against Leganes yesterday. Mbappe scored twice. With these two goals, he has scored 33 goals in all competitions this season.
Mbappe has become the joint top scorer for Real in his debut season. The French star has touched his idol Ronaldo.
“It’s very special,” Mbappe said after the match. “Although the most important things are the things you do for the team, it’s always great to score the same number of goals as Cristiano. We know what Cristiano is like for Real Madrid… and for me too….”
Team achievements are more important to Mbappe than individual achievements. “We are in constant contact, we always talk. He gives me advice. It’s great to score the same number of goals as him. But I always say, we have to win trophies here.”
Mbappe finds it a bit difficult to perform after the international break. He said, “It’s very difficult after the international break. The rhythm is one way for the club, another way for the national team and other things. So when you come back you have to adapt again. But one thing we know is that you always have to win.”
