What signal did Mbappe give Ronaldo?

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was forced to take him off due to injury. No, he was not tackled or collided with any player. He was on the field for 35 minutes. A source told ESPN that Mbappe was feeling discomfort in his left thigh. He will be tested today. After the victory, Ancelotti said, ‘(Mbappe) has a strain. It didn’t look serious, but I can’t say. He couldn’t run. He was feeling uncomfortable. So he had to take him off.’

Mbappe scored the first goal in Real’s 3-2 win over Atalanta in Bergamo. It was worth watching how he bypassed the opposing defender who was pressed against his body inside the box from Brahim Diaz’s pass in the 10th minute. He received the ball with his left foot in such a way that the defender didn’t get any chance to block it. Then he scored with a striker-like shot. Apart from that, he took two more shots, which were also on the post. However, that goal brought Mbappe to an elite club in the Champions League.

Ronaldo's car count is increasing, which one is the new addition?

If there is a little bit of concern about Mbappe, those 35 minutes on the field are a joy and a relief for Real fans. They saw Mbappe as they wanted to see him.

With this, Mbappe has scored 50 goals in 79 matches in the Champions League. French star Kylian Mbappe has overtaken Cristiano Ronaldo in the race to score 50 goals in this edition of the Europa League. Ronaldo took 91 matches. Overall, Mbappe is now fourth in the list of fastest 50 goals in the Champions League. The names of the first three in this list are Ruud von Nistelrooy (62), Lionel Messi (66) and Robert Lewandowski (72).

Mbappe made his debut at the age of just 17. He scored his 50th goal last night at the age of 25 years, 11 months and 20 days. Kylian became the second youngest player to score a goal in the Champions League. The record for the youngest is held by Messi at the age of 24 years and 284 days. The question is, who has Mbappe surpassed to become the second youngest?

You're right. Here too, it's Cristiano Ronaldo! Ronaldo, the highest scorer in Champions League history, held the second-youngest spot by scoring 50 goals at the age of 28 years, 2 months and 7 days. With Mbappe's arrival, the Portuguese legend has now dropped to third.

Mbappe probably knows everything. That's probably why he posted a picture of Ronaldo on his Instagram handle's story. After posting four pictures of the match, Mbappe posted a picture of Ronaldo pointing something with his two fingers in the fifth. Below that picture, there is an emoji of a closed mouth on the right. It is not known why this picture was posted. But there is nothing wrong with guessing!

Ronaldo is already Mbappe's childhood idol, everyone knows that. The Real legend also wished Mbappe well after he moved to the Santiago Bernabeu. But in an interview with Rio Ferdinand last September, Ronaldo said about Mbappe, 'Let's see if he can handle the pressure. Because Real Madrid is not PSG. Mbappe is there now, you might want to know, will Real be better with him? We don't know. We have to wait.'

Ronaldo had a reason for saying this. After joining Real last June, Mbappe was not exactly meeting the club's expectations. Despite scoring 12 goals in 22 games in all competitions this season, he missed penalties against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga and Liverpool in the Champions League. In putting an end to criticism of the penalty miss by scoring last night, Mbappe may have also signaled Ronaldo to shut up!
