5 reasons why Kylian Mbappe could become better than Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar

FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala 2015 — Mbappe could break this holy trio

When a youngster who only just played his first full season as a regular in top-flight football gets so much attention and limelight, it is only natural to lose track. One of the most striking thing about Kylian Mbappe, however, is that he always seems focused on the football.

While both Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo kept developing with composure, Mbappe just seems to be more mature than them when they were in their teens. Neymar, in particular, has a tendency for the extravagant in his off-field life.

The Brazilian has been accused of faking injuries in order to be with his sister for her birthday. On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo has a tendency to lash out at critics and haters. One can never really forget how he threw a reporter’s mic in a pond during the Euros in 2016 or his comments about being “rich, handsome and a great player” that causes people to be “jealous” of him.

So far, Mbappe hasn’t shown signs of such misdemeanours, which is all the more reason for us to believe that he could be better than the duo.
