Kylian Mbappe has spoken about his close relationship with his childhood idol Cristiano Ronaldo. The French forward emphasized that the Real Madrid legend has been a great help in his adaptation to life in the Spanish capital and that they are now true friends. This is reported by Goal.com .
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Mbappe said: "He is my friend now. It's amazing to be friends with the people you idolized when you were young. We talk a lot and he helped me a lot during my first year in Madrid, because he knows this club very well."
Nevertheless, the situation on the pitch is not going as smoothly for Mbappe. Real Madrid is having an unsuccessful season, and fans are unhappy with the team's style of play and the lack of tactical balance. Online petitions demanding the player's departure have even appeared on social media.
For head coach Alvaro Arbeloa, effectively fielding stars like Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, and Kylian Mbappe in one lineup has become a real headache. The team's defensive stability and the level of understanding in the attack remain under criticism.
Experts continue to compare the statistics between Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo. However, the French player is still struggling to find his best form in Madrid and lead the team to new victories.
