Kylian Mbappé has dismissed the idea of following in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo by continuing his football career until the age of 41. According to an article by Fabrizio Romano on X, when questioned about playing at the highest level for as long as Ronaldo has, Mbappé replied with a smile, "France would never let me play until I'm 41!"
However, Mbappé quickly praised the Portuguese star for his remarkable physical and mental condition throughout his long career. "Cristiano shows that if you're in good physical and mental shape, you can play at this high level for a long time," Mbappé commented. Despite his admiration for Ronaldo's longevity, Mbappé expressed that he doesn't see himself following the same path.
"In my case, I don't see it happening," he told BILD. Ronaldo's ability to compete at an elite level into his 40s is an uncommon example of career longevity, whereas Mbappé seems to have a different timeline in mind for his own football journey.
