Mbappé's fandom for Ronaldo is well known, with the France captain having posted a picture of him meeting his then-hero at the Madrid training ground in 2012 when his recent free transfer to Real Madrid was announced. Speaking at a news conference on Thursday ahead of the game in Hamburg, Mbappé said of Ronaldo: "It's truly an honour, everyone knows the respect I have for him. He is still a legend and we are in contact but I hope tomorrow that we can win. "We have to appreciate who he is and what he has done -- he is a unique player. His CV speaks for itself." Asked if he wanted to replicate Ronaldo after his move to Madrid, for whom the Portuguese star is the all-time leading goal scorer, Mbappé added: "There is only one of him. Me, I just want to follow my own route. "I hope I will write a great story at Madrid but it will be different." Mbappé and France have struggled for fluency at Euro 2024. They are yet to score from open play in four games, relying on a penalty from the former Paris Saint-Germain player and own goals to progress -- the most recent coming from Jan Vertonghen in a closely fought round-of-16 contest with Belgium. That absence of flowing football has created murmurs of discontent in France, though manager Didier Deschamps appeared unbothered at the news conference. "There are people who may not be happy but I have seen happy people. It is more exciting to win 5-4, that's for sure," he said. "The critics, you are there to do your job. They have always been part of my daily life. Today, it does not stop me from living in peace." 824349710 .0 1409172050.0 Maxresdefault 1280809710 .0 2890503348322eba3040c16070142b3e 021 Brian Ortega.0.0 USATSI 10676324 168382968 Lowres Hqdefault DSC02808 ?itok=kXGZOVBQ Modelo X Brian Ortega Image 1.0 Image 5 Maxresdefault 305 Brian Ortega.0 Sss Brian Ortega ?w=1000&h=576&crop=1 Brian Ortega Ufc On Espn 38 Pre Fight Video 1 ?w=1000&h=576&crop=1 20140725070726 IMG 8487 Ekk1DNjVoAAo12a 675x450 UFC 266 Brian Ortega Media Day Interview ?resize=480 5707726ec8e05ec9f4f70775d6c4ae6a Brian Ortega Ufc 222 Post Fight Pjimage 3 ?quality=45&strip=all&w=1100 538122908 Sddefault Screenshot 553 Ortega Brian 1040x572 1024x563 6df00ab9e0feae3f88bb18d5f0d29fe2 092521 Ufc 266 Volkanovski Vs Ortega Brian Ortega Feature GettyImages 1280820161 ?h=d1cb525d&itok=pA85wYzK Eeab0 16024199678114 800 2020.03.12 03.18 Themixnet 5e6a52b6e543f 788x444 5e2fca789b2eca9203b3aa54881b4f4d 065370d2bf8fd5453582f2790445af0d DSC02796 ?itok=B7BKazVI Brian Ortega Ufc 231 Getty 1 27f84 16710975797748 1920 Brian Ortega Ufc Fight Night 123 ?w=1000&h=576&crop=1
