Thursday, January 30, 2025 - Al Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted that his own son prefers Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé.
Ronaldo grabbed a brace in a comfortable win in the Saudi Pro League at the
weekend.
The goals saw the 39-year-old move to the top of the goal-scoring
charts, but that was not enough to impress his five-year-old son, Mateo.
In an interview with La Sexta, Ronaldo admitted Mateo thinks Mbappé is a
better footballer.
“Mateo, he really likes Mbappé,” Ronaldo said.
“He sometimes tells me: ‘Hey dad, Mbappé is better than you,’ and I
reply by saying: ‘No, I am better than him, I have scored more goals.'”
Mbappé is widely known to have idolised Ronaldo in his youth.
The France captain has started to emulate some of Ronaldo’s feats at the
Bernabéu in recent weeks after his high-profile move from Paris Saint-Germain
in the summer.
After his hat trick against Real Valladolid on Saturday, Mbappé now has
15 goals in La Liga, second in the Pichichi race behind Barcelona’s Robert
Lewandowski. Ronaldo scored a club-record 450 goals for Los Blancos between
2009 and 2018.
