Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are two of the most well-known athletes in the world. Because of their accomplishments over the years, attaching their names to promising soccer talents and young players with potential is almost common practice.

Kylian Mbappe, the French star striker, has been a hot topic of discussion in the Soccer world since his debut. This 24-year-old talent is a dream for any soccer coach with his incredible dribbling and pace. His incredible record of accomplishments, including a FIFA World Cup, speaks volumes of Mbappe’s talent and potential to be counted among the best in the world.

But the most interesting thing to know is the comparison of Mbappe’s playstyle to two of the greatest names in the soccer world- Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

So who does Mbappe’s playstyle resemble? According to Manchester United legend, Patrice Evra, the answer is pretty clear.

However, as Cristiano has been an idol for Mbappe for a long time, this similarity in personality won’t be so surprising.

He then went on to add words of appreciation for the Argentine forward to defend his claim. “But Messi is a talent. Messi, God gave him a talent, he said to him: ‘Come on, go play with these kids'”. Evra then went on to give his reason for choosing Ronaldo, saying, “When I say Cristiano, people always say to me: ‘Ah, because he’s your brother’. No, it’s because his work, his ethics, it’s incredible.”
