"He will never be another Ronaldo"... Mbappé slammed by the Iberian press

The Spanish press has not been kind to French international Kylian Mbappé following Real Madrid's elimination from the UEFA Champions League.

The former Paris Saint-Germain player watched helplessly as the "Merengue" suffered a double defeat, losing 0-3 and 1-2 to the "Gunners" in the quarter-finals of the competition.

The chronic poor form of the Cameroonian-born striker was highlighted by the Iberian press, as evidenced by the following excerpts:

He will never be Cristiano. He will never have his leadership or character.

Julio Pulido (Cadena SER)

We thought he was coming to confirm what he was in Paris... People wanted to see a new Cristiano Ronaldo in Mbappé, but he is light years away.

Tomas Roncero (AS)

Mbappé should not be compared to Cristiano, he should be compared to Vinicius. Real Madrid loses because Vini is no longer Vini and Mbappé hasn't taken over. You can't compare him to Cristiano or Ronaldo.

Antonio Romero (Cadena SER)
