Get to know Kylian Mbappe: 5 things about the Real Madrid target you should know about him off the field

#3 He has the industry to match Ronaldo

The drive of Cristiano Ronaldo to always improve is legendary, and Mbappe, who as a child idolised the Portugal star as well as Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane, seems to have the same kind of mentality to his game.

It was revealed after Monaco won the Ligue 1 title that the striker was keener to get down to his recovery work than he was to celebrate, while he possesses a remarkable maturity and level-headedness for such a young player.

“Once the euphoria has gone down, we need to get back to work because you are eternally questioned in football,” he explained. “Always put the bar higher, otherwise you do not progress.”
