Mbappe will get the chance to get one past Ronaldo as early as the group stage. France and Portugal are both drawn in Group F - a group of death that also contains Germany and Hungary. The two sides will lock horns in their final group game of the tournament on June 23. It could be a very decisive game and an opportunity for Mbappe to earn the edge over his Portuguese counterpart.
Flashy dribbling skills, electrifying runs and killer goalscoring instincts, Mbappe has all the weapons in his arsenal to light up the Euros. Playing for one of the scariest teams in the competition is a huge plus. The pacey forward looks destined to make a huge statement this summer.

Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is his favorite player and is the one true GOAT for him over Cristiano Ronaldo.
