Mbappe Says He’s Not Trying to Be the Next Messi or Ronaldo
Kylian Mbappe has made it clear he’s not trying to be the next Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, calling the two football legends irreplaceable.
Mbappe, who joined Real Madrid last summer, has already scored 30 goals in 43 matches this season. He’s now just two goals away from breaking Ronaldo’s debut-season record of 33 goals, which the Portuguese star shares with Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Despite being close to this milestone, Mbappe insists he’s not trying to follow in their footsteps. Speaking while on international duty with France, he said, “I’m not trying to take their place. They are irreplaceable.”
After hitting his 30th goal of the season, the 26-year-old remained humble, saying, “They’re legends who defined an era. If I score more than Ronaldo and Messi, it doesn’t make me better. It just means my first season is going well.”
Messi has scored over 850 career goals, while Ronaldo holds the top spot with more than 920 goals.

Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
