Real Madrid’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has expressed confidence that Kylian Mbappé can emulate Cristiano Ronaldo’s legendary status at the club. Speaking ahead of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Real Sociedad, Ancelotti highlighted Mbappé’s potential impact. “It’s difficult to compare different players,” Ancelotti remarked. “What I can hope for is that Mbappé can achieve what Cristiano Ronaldo achieved at Real Madrid. I think he has the possibility to do it. If he does that, he’ll be a legend at Real Madrid like Cristiano Ronaldo is.”
Mbappé’s recent performances have bolstered this belief. In a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over Leganés, the French forward scored twice, bringing his season tally to 33 goals. This achievement matches Ronaldo’s goal count in his inaugural season with Real Madrid, underscoring Mbappé’s significant contribution to the team’s success.
Ancelotti’s endorsement resonates with fans across Africa, where both Real Madrid and Mbappé enjoy substantial support. Football enthusiasts on the continent will be keenly watching to see if Mbappé can indeed follow in Ronaldo’s footsteps and etch his name among the club’s all-time greats. 
As Real Madrid continues its pursuit of domestic and European glory, Mbappé’s role will be pivotal. If he maintains his current trajectory, he is well on his way to becoming a legendary figure at the Santiago Bernabéu, much like Cristiano Ronaldo before him.
