The footsteps of Ronaldo will be followed by Kylian Mbappe, who will eventually become the best player in the world.

Ramon Calderon, who served as president of Real Madrid in the past, is of the opinion that Mbappe will continue to improve even further than he has already done previously.

Furthermore, after his brilliant performance against Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday night, it is difficult to disagree with their assessment.

Mbappe led Real Madrid to the round of sixteen, where he not only scored a hat trick but also passed the milestone of 500 career goal contributions in a record amount of time.

Having joined Los Blancos on a free transfer after running his contract down at Paris Saint-Germain, the 26-year-old player has been a superstar ever since he made the move to Los Blancos earlier this summer.

With 27 goals scored across 37 matches across all competitions, Mbappe has established himself as the club’s leading scorer for the current season.

He is only four goals short of matching the best-ever goalscoring season that Brazilian legend Ronaldo had at Real Madrid in 2003–2004. This is an incredible accomplishment.

On the other hand, despite Mbappe’s heroics so far in Spain, he had been subjected to criticism from fans and pundits due to the fact that he had failed to score in his first three experiences playing in La Liga.

But with 17 goals to his name so far in the top-flight, no one is now questioning the 2018 World Cup winner, who is only three strikes away from Robert Lewandowski, who is the leading scorer in the division.

Due to the French forward’s remarkable performance, comparisons have been made between him and Ronaldo, who has won the Ballon d’Or twice.

The Bernabeu was Ronaldo’s home for five years, from 2002 to 2007, during which time he scored 104 goals in 177 games and won the LaLiga championship in his first season there to cap off his career.

It is a feat that Mbappe would love to replicate, and his chances of winning the award in his first year in Spain have decreased as a result of this. According to him, however, “playing for Real Madrid is more important to me than winning the Ballon d’Or.” This statement was made after he had completed his treble against City.

During his tenure as president of Real Madrid from 2006 to 2009, Calderon is of the opinion that Mbappe will develop into one of the best players in the history of the sport.

On the show hosted by Hawksbee and Jacobs, he made the following statement: “In my opinion, he is among the very best players in the entire world.”

“Everything is in place for him to be the best. His appearance is reminiscent of the Brazilian Ronaldo Nazario.

He is quick, he is strong, and he has the ability to score from any position on the field through the use of both legs.

The fans are now really, really enjoying the way that he is playing, which is the same way that he was playing when he was with Paris Saint-Germain.

“And for sure he is one of those that anyone would like to have on his side.”

Mbappe already has a stacked trophy cabinet, which includes seven Ligue 1 titles, four Coupe de France titles, two Coupe de la Ligue titles, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA International Cup. He is only 26 years old.

This is in addition to the fact that Les Blues won the World Cup and the UEFA Nations League, and it is possible that they will also win the Champions League this season.

In the event that he were to triumph in the most prestigious club competition in Europe, he would achieve what Ronaldo was unable to accomplish throughout his entire career: he would win the Champions League.

In addition, he clearly had his shooting boots on during Real Madrid’s knockout play-off second leg match against the Citizens, as he scored his second treble while wearing the club’s colours.

Jude Bellingham, a member of the same team, is no longer surprised by the forward’s astounding performances because of the forward’s high quality and consistent performance patterns.

In an interview with TNT Sports following Real Madrid’s 6-3 victory over Real Madrid in aggregate, the England international player stated, “You go into games knowing that he’s going to affect games if you give him the ball.”

“I believe that our job behind him is to try to put the front three, as well as myself getting in there, in the best positions that are possible,” I said.

“You are aware that Kylian is going to be a threat whenever he is in possession of the ball in areas where he enjoys having possession of the ball.

“Right foot, left foot, you saw the different types of goals that were scored against City,” the coach said.

“It’s incredible really what he’s done in his career, I know he had a slow start [at Real], he was getting used to life here, but now he’s just flying and it’s a pleasure to watch.”

Mbappe finished on the podium for the Ballon d’Or in 2023, behind Erling Haaland and Lionel Messi, who won the award. Despite what Mbappe says, he would not say no to the opportunity to become the ninth Real Madrid player to win the most prestigious individual award.
