Cristiano Ronaldo and Mbappe have very similar soccer qualities and France coach Deschamps knows it. Although they are two players of very different ages, Deschamps said he believes that Mbappe can match Ronaldo and that he already has something that Ronaldo will find very difficult to win: the FIFA World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who has won trophies in the best leagues in the world such as Spain, Serie A and the Premier League, beyond the 5 Champions League. Although Mbappe only won Ligue 1 titles, with only 20 years he was champion with France of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, being the great figure of the French team.

Deschamps believes that it is not good to compare them since masters are from two different generations and that we have to wait until Mbappe is 35 years old to see how his career went. Similarly, the France coach believes that Mbappe can be better than Ronaldo. He also commented that Mbapee told him that as a boy he always looked at Ronaldo, who is his football idol.

France and Portugal meet for the third round of the Nations League and Cristiano Ronaldo and Mbappe will seek to guide their teams to be leaders of group A3. Both France and Portugal come in with ideal scores as they won their first two matches. Whoever wins between France and Portugal will be the leader of the group
