Ancelotti Backs Mbappe to Reach Ronaldo’s Level as Real Madrid Eyes Next Opponent

Posted : 20 February 2025

Carlo Ancelotti believes Kylian Mbappe has the potential to reach the level of Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid's all-time leading scorer. The manager acknowledged that while Ronaldo set an incredibly high standard with 451 goals in 438 games, Mbappe possesses the talent and determination to match his achievements.

 

Ancelotti also praised the team's collective strength, emphasizing that while Mbappe’s hat-trick was highly anticipated, Real Madrid's success comes from their overall team effort rather than individual brilliance alone.

 

Mbappe, who netted 256 goals in 308 appearances for Paris Saint-Germain, downplayed the importance of personal accolades, stating that winning trophies is his ultimate goal. He pointed out that despite finishing as the Champions League's top scorer last season, he did not win the competition, reinforcing his belief that team success is what truly matters.

 

The French forward expressed his willingness to score as many goals as possible but only if they contribute to securing major titles for his new club.

 

Ancelotti admitted that Real Madrid’s struggles earlier in the season forced them into the knockout round, which he viewed as an unnecessary hurdle. The defending champions will face either Bayer Leverkusen or Atletico Madrid in the next round, depending on Friday’s draw, as they aim for a record-extending 16th title.

 

Mbappe voiced a preference for facing Atletico due to the reduced travel burden, acknowledging that both potential opponents would pose a significant challenge. Ancelotti, meanwhile, stressed the importance of maintaining momentum, as he sees this stage of the competition as the real beginning of the season.
