Mbappe reacts to playing against 'idol' Ronaldo in Nations League draw

Kylian Mbappe heaped praise upon 'idol' Cristiano Ronaldo after coming up against the Portugal attacker in France's Nations League stalemate on Sunday.

Despite both forwards having solid efforts at goal, neither team could find the breakthrough in a fairly even contest.

While there were no goals to speak of, Mbappe and Ronaldo still managed to provide plenty of entertainment with the duo clearly savouring their personal match-up.

At the beginning of the second half, the pair were filmed in a friendly exchange with the Frenchman's smile suggesting Ronaldo's remarks were possibly quite cheeky.
