Cristiano Ronaldo exposed Kylian Mbappe.

"If I were Mbappé, I would play similarly to how Cristiano Ronaldo operated as a forward. I would have taught him to play in that role if I were at Real Madrid. While I wasn’t a central striker, I played like one. People tend to forget that I was originally a winger. The attacking position complicates things for Mbappé. In my opinion, he doesn't quite understand how to play as a forward. It's not that he lacks knowledge; rather, it's simply not his natural position," Ronaldo said, according to Madrid Universal on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

Forward Al-Nassr Cristiano Ronaldo, who previously played for Real Madrid, shared his thoughts on the performance of Real Madrid player Kylian Mbappe in the central striker position, according to Sports.kz referencing Championat.com.

“If I were Mbappe, I would play similarly to how Cristiano Ronaldo operated as a striker. I would teach him to play there if I were at ‘Real’. I wasn’t a central striker, but I played like one. People forget that I was a winger. The attacking position complicates things a bit for Mbappe. In my opinion, he doesn’t know how to play as a striker. It’s not that he doesn’t know; it’s just that it’s not his position,” Ronaldo’s words are reported by Madrid Unversal on social media X (formerly Twitter).

So far this season, Mbappe has participated in 19 matches in La Liga, scoring 15 goals and providing two assists.
