This is one rule that comes to mind whenever I read such discussions about Kylian Mbappe idolizing Cristiano Ronaldo. Do not follow a great mans path, you'll have to do twice of whatever he did and at the end of th day, you might not be able to get half of what he achieved. Kylian Mbappe is great but expecting him to do what Cristiano Ronaldo has done for Real Madrid is something I think that will never happen.
He is yet to even adapt to that Real Madrid first eleven and you compare him with Ronaldo's path in Real Madrid? I think they should stop using him as a number nine and start utilizing Endrick who I think is more of a natural number nine for them. It's gonna be tough season ahead for them, I'm seeing Barcelona winning the La Liga Competition or even Atletico Madrid if they consistently get going the way they've started the season.

This is a great quote from Robert Greene. I’m against fans and pundits putting Kylian Mbappe in a box. He’s young and still growing. Christiano Ronaldo and Messi are built different from today’s footballers. Ronaldo in his prime, he was at Manchester United, playing in one of the toughest leagues in the world. I think coming from a tough league like the EPL prepared Ronaldo for every league he later moved to. Mbappe’s football career on the other hand has been limited to just the Ligue 1 which in my opinion is not a very competitive league. And has not met any real competition as PSG is basically farming the league.

Mbappe has two incredible World Cup performances to his name. But Mbappe’s real test will be how he performs at Real Madrid. His success will depend largely on his accomplishments at Madrid.

You won't blame people for thinking that Mbappe has come to replace Ronaldo at real Madrid. Real Madrid is a team that has been known to having a leader that has proven records, and Mbappe fits in that category. Even though he is a different player to what Ronaldo was. Many times Mbappe has said that Ronaldo was his idol when growing up and as expected people are naturally going to think that he will replicate his idol. I have this conviction that Mbappe will be successful at real Madrid but I don't think that success is going to come immediately as the fans and Media are expecting.

Individually Mbappe is good, but for him to get perform very well his team mates need to be good and support him as well. Ronaldo had great players alongside that were helping him achieve success at real Madrid. Players with matured mentality and they were not jealous of him, but this real Madrid team don't have such players anymore. Their squad are almost players of same age bracket that are all seeking for individual recognition. So it will be difficult for Mbappe to start shining on his own and bring immediate impact at Madrid.
