Former Real Madrid player Jese Rodriguez believes Kylian Mbappe has all the qualities needed to become a legendary figure at the Santiago Bernabeu, drawing comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo. Speaking to Mowlihawk, Jese reflected on training with both players and Mbappe’s longstanding interest in joining the Spanish giants.
Comparing Mbappe and Ronaldo
Jese highlighted the similarities between the two prolific forwards, praising their extraordinary talent and goal-scoring instincts. He stated:
> “There wasn’t that much difference with the feelings I had when I trained with Cristiano. They were both the same, they scored goals in every training session.”
While acknowledging their unique styles, Jese noted that Mbappe’s potential to shine on the biggest stages was evident from the beginning, setting the stage for his meteoric rise in football.
Mbappe’s Aspirations to Join Madrid
Jese revealed that Mbappe had expressed interest in Real Madrid long before his potential move materialized. He recalled their conversations about the allure of Los Blancos:
> “He asked me what Real Madrid was like as a club, and I told him that it was the best club in the world and that if he wanted to win the Ballon d’Or, he should sign for Madrid.”
Jese’s advice seemingly resonated with Mbappe, who has frequently been linked with a move to Madrid, cementing his ambition to follow in Ronaldo’s footsteps.
Jese Rodriguez’s comparison of Kylian Mbappe to Cristiano Ronaldo underscores the French forward’s potential to etch his name in Real Madrid’s history. With Mbappe’s skills and ambition aligning with Madrid’s grandeur, a move to the Bernabeu could see him join the pantheon of footballing legends. As Jese aptly put it, Mbappe’s destiny could lead to Ballon d’Or glory and enduring stardom in the iconic white jersey.
