Author of a particularly prolific start to the season with already eight goals in as many matches in all competitions, Kylian Mbappé continues to make people talk about him, even far from the field. Returning to Clairefontaine this Monday with the French team after Real Madrid’s defeat against Atlético de Madrid (2-1), the French striker was interviewed by the media Complex on the players who make up his personal pantheon. And the Madrilenian did not hesitate when citing his four absolute references.
“My pantheon of footballers? In no particular order? Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, without hesitation. Without forgetting the Brazilian Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane. » A particularly prestigious quartet, which includes two players that Mbappé worked with directly. The Frenchman notably shared the Paris Saint-Germain locker room with Lionel Messi for two seasons, while he now plays under the orders of Zinédine Zidane with the Blues. A list which also confirms Mbappé’s admiration for Ronaldo Nazário, while placing Cristiano Ronaldo alongside the Argentine among his first two references.
