Real Madrid: Alvaro Arbeloa compares Mbappé to Cristiano Ronaldo

On Sunday night, Kylian Mbappé netted the second goal to secure Real Madrid’s win over Valencia. Alvaro Arbeloa is so impressed by the Frenchman that he’s even drawing comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Kylian Mbappé found the back of the net against Valencia (2-0) this Sunday in La Liga. The French star continues to carry Real Madrid on his shoulders. Speaking to the press, Merengue coach Alvaro Arbeloa even compared the French international to Cristiano Ronaldo.

"We’re running out of superlatives to describe Kylian. We thought we'd never see another player like Cristiano, but it seems Mbappé is on the path to becoming just like him. (...) We’re very lucky to have him. Right now, he is the best player in the world. Like I said, Cristiano seemed otherworldly and Kylian still has a long way to go, but he has what it takes to follow in his footsteps. Why couldn’t he even surpass him? If anyone can do it, it’s Kylian," the coach declared.
