One legend gave respect to another as Kylian Mbappé said that longtime superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is "still a legend" prior to Friday's France vs. Portugal quarterfinal match at the UEFA Euro Championship.
"It's truly an honour, everyone knows the respect I have for him," Mbappé said Thursday, per ESPN. "He is still a legend and we are in contact but I hope tomorrow that we can win."
Mbappé has long idolized Ronaldo, who he met in 2012 at the Real Madrid training ground. Mbappé posted a picture of their meeting after his transfer from PSG to Real Madrid was complete.
