Mbappe Declares Cristiano Ronaldo The ‘GOAT’ On Instagram

France striker Kylian Mbappe has appeared to declare Cristiano Ronaldo the football GOAT in the wake of Portugal’s elimination from the World Cup.
Ronaldo and his fellow Portugal stars were knocked out of the World Cup by Morocco on Saturday afternoon, as the victors became the first African side to reach the World Cup semi-finals.
Fernando Santos once again left the five time Ballon d’Or winner on the bench to start the game, as he had done in the last 16.

Unlike the first knockout round, against Switzerland, it wasn’t as effective, and he had to bring Ronaldo on early in the second half.
The 37-year-old wasn’t able to have an impact on the game, and Morocco held on to their one goal advantage, despite having a man sent off late on.
It left Ronaldo down in the dumps, as he was spotted in tears in the tunnel after the game, having failed to score in a knockout game in a World Cup for the fifth tournament in-a-row.
On Sunday, Cristiano Ronaldo took to social media to continue his emotional reaction to the game, saying winning the tournament had been his ‘biggest dream.’
In reaction to Ronaldo’s post, Mbapope posted three emojis, using the crown, high five and goat emoji to convey his feelings, suggesting Ronaldo is the greatest ever.

They were mostly excited by the fact the ‘opinion’ came from one of Lionel Messi’s own PSG teammates, because obviously, that’s important.
His opinions on the two star forwards, who have both likely be playing in their final World Cup in Qatar, has changed somewhat in recent years.

Even that opinion came two years ago and it’s likely that the former Monaco player has changed his tune since then, especially since playing with Messi.
Anyone picking Ronaldo over Mbappe on current form would need their head testing, as the current tournament has proved.
Mbappe’s reaction to Harry Kane’s missed penalty, which would have put England level and taken the game to extra time, might even go down as the defining image of the tournament, if Didier Deschamps team go on to defend their title.
