Kylian Mbappe claims he prefers to have career like Ronaldo not Messi
- Kylian Mbappe has said he cannot be a one-club man like Lionel Messi and that it is impossible for him to attain his success
- However, the PSG striker admits he can follow in footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo who played in Portugal, England, Spain and now Italy
- Mbappe believes Ronaldo is the man that can break Juventus' Champions League 14-year jinx
Kylian Mbappe has been tipped as the next biggest thing in world football after the era of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
The Paris Saint-Germain striker believes it is too late for him to attain the level of Messi because the Argentine spent his whole career in Barcelona.
But the France international claims having played for Monaco and PSG, he can draw inspiration from Ronaldo who has played in Portugal, England, Spain and Italy.
"It's too late for me to carve out a career like Messi's, I would have had to stay at Monaco.
"Without taking anything away from Messi, now I have to draw on Cristiano's career for inspiration," said Mbappé.
The World Cup winner also stated that the Portuguese star is the right man to end Juventus' 14-year wait for Champions League trophy.
The Bianconeri were knocked out of the tournament at the quarter-final stage by Ajax but will play Lyon in this season's round of 16.
"Juventus are a strong side - they've shown that in the finals they've played during the past few seasons.
"They have always lacked something to give them the edge and now that have that in Cristiano. He's a player who makes you win major trophies.
"This year Juventus are among the favourites - along with the usual suspects - Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool".
Mbappe has scored 13 goals in 14 matches for the Ligue 1 champion this campaign and five out of five in the Champions League.
He won the World Cup with France in Russia and was named Young Player of the Tournament at the age of 19, same as Pele in the 1956 edition for Brazil.
The 21-year-old has been linked with a mega move to either Real Madrid or Manchester City in the summer.
