Cristiano Ronaldo and the prophecy about Mbappé: Let's see if he can handle the pressure

10 goals in 20 matches between La Liga, the Champions League and the European Super Cup: this is Kylian Mbappé's balance with the Real Madrid shirt. A positive figure in terms of goals, but, in the current situation, not enough in the eyes of the Blancos fans, who are not satisfied with the Frenchman's contribution to the club's cause. A contribution that the Madrid supporters are loudly demanding, in light of a season that sees Real Madrid in second place in the championship, 4 points behind Barcelona, ??and in 24th place in the Champions League. Decisive, in this regard, were the two wrong penalties in one week against Liverpool and Athletic Bilbao.

Mbappé's difficulties were, in a way, predicted by Cristiano Ronaldo, who, on Rio Ferdinand's podcast, had commented on the Frenchman's move to Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo: Mbappé? Real Madrid is not PSG

"Let's see if he can handle the pressure ," Cristiano Ronaldo said last September. " One thing is for sure, Real Madrid is not PSG."

"Mbappé went to Madrid, but we don't know if the team will become even stronger with him. Real Madrid will continue to be strong, but I don't know if they will improve compared to last season. In any case, it's a fantastic team."
