Im Not Trying To Take Their Place Mbappe Names Two Irreplaceable Players In World Football

Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappe, has said he never wanted to be like Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.

He played down comparisons with the two football greats, saying the two football icons are "irreplaceable."

Mbappe, who joined Real Madrid last summer, has already netted 30 times in 43 games across competitions in his debut season.

Just two more goals, the former Monaco forward will pass Ronaldos debut-season record of 33 goals, a number the legendary Portuguese striker shares with former Netherlands International, Ruud van Nistelrooy.

However, Mbappe has insisted that he is not trying to fill in the shoes of the greats.
