Kylian Mbappe has suggested he cannot replicate what Lionel Messi has achieved at Barcelona and will instead look to Cristiano Ronaldo for inspiration.

Since bursting onto the scene with Monaco in 2016, a successful move to Paris Saint-Germain and a charge to World Cup glory with France have made the 21-year-old one of the leading lights in football.

However, when it comes to choosing between Messi and Ronaldo regarding which player he wants to model his career path on, Mbappe acknowledged his switch from Monaco to PSG means he cannot follow in the footsteps of Barca's six-time Ballon d'Or winner.

It’s too late for me to carve out a career like Messi’s, I would have had to stay at Monaco,” Mbappe told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Without taking anything away from Messi, now I have to draw on Cristiano’s career for inspiration.


Mbappe also believes Ronaldo gives Juventus an edge in the Champions League, a competition the Portugal captain has won five times, making the Serie A giants a favourite.

"Juventus are a strong side - they've shown that in the finals they've played during the past few seasons," said Mbappe, who has scored 21 goals in all competitions for PSG this term.

"They have always lacked something to give them the edge and now they have that in Cristiano. He's a player who makes you win major trophies

This shows Ronaldo is the real Goat that inspires upcoming goat, Messi is hype and not inspirational. Likes for Ronaldo and Share to Messi.

The Ronaldo fans on the thread right now

If you read the post very well you'll see that Mbappe meant they're no point trying to be like Messi because it's impossible. It's better to be like Ronaldo which is very possible. If you can't be like a god at least you can be like a king.
