Better than Ronaldo, the stats with which Mbappé arrives at Real Madrid compared to Cristiano's when he arrived

Many football fans would like to think that the Kylian Mbappé presentation at Real Madrid will be remembered as special as Cristiano Ronaldo's presentation in 2009. The Portuguese striker was one of the best players in the world when he arrived at Los Blancos for the first time, and there was lots of excitement and expectation. Ronaldo was a star at Manchester United and scored lots of goals in the Premier League.

Football fans have realized that Ronaldo's stats upon arrival at Real Madrid are impressive but not as high as Mbappé's numbers. Mbappé also arrives at Real Madrid as one of the best players in the world and has won so many trophies. The French star has also scored lots of goals in his career so far, and at this stage of his career, it is more than what Ronaldo scored when he first joined Real Madrid.

Ronaldo played 388 games before joining Real Madrid at 24 years old, where they scored a total of 145 goals and won 11 trophies. Mbappé arrives at Real Madrid at 25 years old with 335 goals so far in his career and 19 trophies.

  The goals that Mbappé would have to score per year to equal Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid

Ronaldo did have something that Mbappé still dreams of accomplishing in his career. Ronaldo arrived at Real Madrid as a Ballon d'Or winner. He won it in 2008 after an incredible season with Manchester United. That was the first Ballon d'Or award Ronaldo had won in his career, and he would eventually win a total of five, the second most of any footballer.

Ronaldo was also impressed with Real Madrid during his debut season. He played a total of 35 matches, where he had a total of 43 goal contributions. He scored a total of 33 goals and provided ten assists. Mbappé has better stats than him upon their arrival at Real Madrid, but he will still need to make a great impression to be in the same conversation as the Portuguese legend.
