Mbappe looked at Ronaldo “passionately”.
TPO – French star Kylian Mbappe could not hide his joy when facing Cristiano Ronaldo in the match between France and Portugal at the Nations League.
This morning, France held Portugal to a 0-0 draw in the Nations League. Even though the match had no goals, fans still witnessed an interesting moment when Kylian Mbappe happily chatted with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Mbappe was born in 1998 and is one of the best young strikers in the world today. Meanwhile, Ronaldo is 35 years old and is a great monument to football. When Ronaldo won the Golden Ball in 2008, Mbappe was just 10 years old. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the French striker admires and idolizes Ronaldo.
Until he became famous, Mbappe still maintained his admiration for Ronaldo, and this was clearly shown in the match this morning. Before the ball kicked off in the second half, Mbappe and Ronaldo were talking happily on the field. The young French striker looked at his idol passionately and this even excited the fans.
After the match, Mbappe continued to publicly declare his love for Ronaldo when he posted a picture of himself looking at CR7 “passionately” and calling the Portuguese star his “idol”. Not only that, Mbappe also used the symbols of the king and goat (goat – short for “greatest of all time”) to praise Ronaldo.
This is not the first time Mbappe has faced Ronaldo on the field. In 2018, this striker and PSG met Ronaldo’s Real Madrid in the 1/8 round of the Champions League. However, due to the important and stressful nature of that match, Mbappe could not confess his admiration for his opponent.
