Mbappe has previously spoken of his admiration for Ronaldo, which stems from early childhood.

Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, the French World Cup winner recalled all the times he has come up against Ronaldo playing for France in international football competitions, as well as in the Champions League.

When asked about his idols, he said: "Well, I've had phases. To start, as a child, it was Zidane. If you're a boy and you're French, your idol is Zidane.

"After that, it was Cristiano [Ronaldo], who I have been fortunate enough to have faced as a rival, at club level and with the national team.
