Mbappe crushed Ronaldo with his age by 12 goals! But want to be the king of football? Get 5 golden balls first

After the 2022 World Cup, Ronaldo suffered a Waterloo. The decline in the state brought about by age, the comparison of Messi's title of kingship, and even his former ostentatious personality have been infinitely magnified. Many black fans even said that Mbappe's historical status has surpassed Ronaldo quietly. Can a World Cup champion really smooth out the gap between legends and new stars?

Mbappe, who is about to be 27 years old, has delivered a terrifying report card: 377 goals and 145 assists in 497 games, making an average of 1 goal every 82 minutes; while Ronaldo, who is the same age (as of 2012), has about 600 games, with 310 goals and 114 assists, and his efficiency is only 1 goal in 127 minutes. At the national team level, Mbappe helped France win the 2018 World Cup with 4 goals at the age of 19, and scored 8 goals in the 2022 World Cup at the age of 24, winning the Golden Boot. He won 12 goals in two matches, just one step away from Klose's 16-goal record. Before Ronaldo was 30 years old, the national team's honor book was still blank, and he did not win the European Cup for the first time until he was 31 years old.

Mbappe's trophy room displays the World Cup, UEFA Champions League and 7 Ligue 1 trophys, but the number of UEFA Champions League trophys is zero. In contrast, Ronaldo: 3 Premier League, 2 La Liga, 5 Champions League, 5 Golden Ball Awards, 4 European Golden Boots, etc., played for Real Madrid for 9 years and scored 450 goals, and took half of the country during Messi's peak period.

Even though Mbappe joined Real Madrid last season, he wore the No. 9 jersey and set a new team's first season goal record with 44 goals, the team's score was not won. Ironically, after he left the team, Paris won the Champions League for the first time and achieved a triple-winning championship. The metaphysics of team honors seem to be on his side.

Ronaldo's horror lies in the attributes of the enemy of time: at the age of 40, he is still averaging 0.84 goals in the Saudi League, and is expected to hit the 1,000-goal milestone by the end of 2026. Although Mbappe is praised as the best in the world today, he ranked 5th on the latest top 100 stars in "Marca", and the 40-year-old Ronaldo is still ranked 30th. Historical status not only judging from the peak height, but also tests the length of his career.

A Real Madrid celebrity pointed out the essence: when Ronaldo joined, Real Madrid was humiliated by Barcelona and Liverpool, he was like a hero in time; when Mbappe arrived, Real Madrid was already the leader of the 15th Champions League championship, and he was more like the icing on the cake.
