Al Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo has said that Real Madrid should "take care of" Kylian Mbappé.
Ronaldo also told Mbappé to "follow his own path" as he tries to become a great player at the Bernabéu.
So far, Mbappé has scored 22 goals in all competitions during his first season at Real Madrid. But earlier in the season, he faced criticism for some of his performances.
Ronaldo, who is Real Madrid’s top scorer in history with 451 goals, was Mbappé’s childhood idol. When Mbappé was young and had a trial at the club, he took a famous photo with Ronaldo.
“Look after the lad,”
Ronaldo said in an interview with Spanish TV show El Chiringuito.
“The fans must support him. He’s an amazing player. The club should help and protect him. I have no doubt he will bring Madrid fans a lot of happiness.
“I love [Mbappé], not just because he admired me as a child, but because he is a fantastic player,”
Ronaldo added.
