Kylian Mbappe yet to match Cristiano Ronaldo's start at Real Madrid
Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in 2009 as the most expensive player in world football. He became an instant hit at the Spanish club and fit in to the team with ease. Ronaldo had a phenomenal first season at the Santiago Bernabeu, scoring 33 goals and providing ten assists in 35 appearances across competitions.
Kylian Mbappe, meanwhile, joined Real Madrid on a free transfer from PSG this summer. However, he is yet to match the start to life that Cristiano Ronaldo had at the club. The Frenchman has often been criticized for his lackluster displays. He has so far managed ten goals and two assists in 19 matches for Los Merengues this season.
