My son thinks Mbappe is better than me – Ronaldo

Al Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that his five-year-old son, Mateo, favors Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé over him.

Ronaldo, who netted a brace over the weekend to climb to the top of the Saudi Pro League scoring charts, admitted the surprising preference during an interview with La Sexta.

“Mateo really likes Mbappé,” Ronaldo shared. “He sometimes tells me: ‘Hey dad, Mbappé is better than you,’ and I reply by saying: ‘No, I am better than him, I have scored more goals.'”

The humorous exchange highlights the influence of Mbappé, who famously idolized Ronaldo during his youth. Despite Mateo’s playful comments, the 39-year-old football legend continues to shine on the pitch.
