Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe has admitted he wishes he could have played with the Spanish club’s all-time record goalscorer Cristiano Ronaldo, who now plays for Al-Nassr
Kylian Mbappe has revealed he would love to have played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, but admits it is “going to be very difficult” for that to happen now.
Mbappe has played alongside a number of iconic footballers during his career, but the Real Madrid star says he would have found it “fun” to partner Ronaldo up front. “I’ve played with great players: Lionel Messi, Neymar, [Antoine] Griezmann, [Paul] Pogba, [Karim] Benzema…” Mbappe told BeINsports.
“It would have been fun to play with Cristiano Ronaldo — it’s going to be very difficult now — but I was lucky enough to play against him, a legend of the sport.” Ronaldo is Madrid’s all-time record goalscorer, but he now plies his trade in Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr.
Mbappe also claimed Madrid were the only club he would have left Paris Saint-Germain to join and responded to criticism aimed at him over his new side’s recent struggles. Madrid currently sit third in LaLiga and are in serious danger of crashing out of the Champions League in the new league phase, having lost three of their six games so far.
