As a child, Cristiano Ronaldo was Kylian Mbappé’s weakness. Posters of the Portuguese superstar decorated his room, but footballing fate led him to share the same dressing room as a player with…Lionel Messi.
As consequence; The Messi or Ronaldo dilemma that most people have no longer affects the 24-year-old Frenchman, who explains why he now loves both in a video making the rounds on social media.
“I love Cristiano, I was a big fan of his when I was younger. But I realized that Messi is very good.”
