Cristiano Ronaldo drew parallels between Kylian Mbappe’s current experience at Real Madrid and his own, stating that he would have gladly shown Mbappe how to excel as a number 9 if he were still at the club.

Ronaldo encouraged Real Madrid fans to support their new star signing, Kylian Mbappe, who has been playing as a number 9 this season. After a challenging start, Mbappe is beginning to find his rhythm in this new role, which he did not occupy at his previous club, Paris Saint-Germain.

Having idolized Ronaldo since childhood, Mbappe has recently regained his form, even earning the La Liga Player of the Month award for January 2025. Initially, he struggled as a striker, missing a few penalties against Liverpool and Athletic Bilbao. However, he recently scored a hat trick against Real Valladolid, signaling that his adjustment period is over and that he is ready to shine in La Liga.
