The legend of Kylian Mbappé begins with his boundless admiration, as a youngster, for Cristiano Ronaldo. But the child has transformed into a ruthless attacker, who will try to precipitate the international retirement of his idol, Friday during the Portugal-France quarter-final (9:00 p.m.) of Euro-2024. It is perhaps one of these mythical crisscrossings in the history of sport that is being prepared. On one side Ronaldo, who at 39 years old could play his last major competition with Portugal. Out of goals, he now displays his doubts, to the point of bursting into tears Monday evening after missing a penalty against Slovenia in the 8th final.
On the other hand, Mbappé is at a turning point in his career, at 25 years old. After a season marked by trials, criticism and conflicts at Paris SG, where he finished as the club’s top scorer in history, the Parisian is preparing to join Real Madrid. He himself has long rejected this dream but will now follow in the footsteps of Ronaldo, the club’s top scorer in history.
“My turn… Can’t wait to see you light up the Bernabeu,” wrote CR7 on social media when the arrival of “KM7” was announced in Madrid. Because yes, the Portuguese has known Kylian Mbappé since the Bondynois was 10 years old, having gone to ask him for an autograph after a Real match in Marseille in 2009.
