Ronaldo won it all with Madrid, from multiple La Liga titles to a plethora of Champions League trophies. The Portuguese icon registered 450 goals for Real to become their all-time leading scorer and will forever be a club legend.
Speaking to El Partidazo via COPE, Courtois has opened up about the pair and has revealed that Ronaldo possesses more of a winning mentality when compared to the Frenchman.
“I haven't been around Cristiano because the summer I arrived at Real Madrid, he went to Juventus. I think they're two different players, but Cristiano still has a bit more of a winning mentality than Kylian.
“But this year, Kylian has shown that mentality more; he's stepped up his game and is really driving the team forward. You can tell he's a leader, and it will become even more apparent with each match.”
Mbappe scored his 400th senior goal for club and country across an illustrious career over the international break, The World Cup winner is far off Ronaldo’s legacy but at just 26 years old he is chasing down the success needed to be recognized as a club legend.
