It is a secret of Polichinelle: Johan Micoud is not the greatest admirer of Kylian Mbappé. For several years, the former French international has never missed the opportunity to recall this on the set of the evening team, where he brings his analysis as a consultant.
Last Sunday, Micoud was still present in the flagship program of the the team to debrief the two nations league games that had led the day. And he couldn't help picking up a tackle to the captain of the French team.

While Portugal won the League of Nations after a spectacular final against Spain (2-2, 5-4 AP), the columnists present praised the investment of Cristiano Ronaldo. A little earlier, the French team had won 3rd place by winning against the host country, Germany (2-0), in a meeting where Kylian Mbappé still treated his statistics (a goal and a decisive pass).
Micoud compares Mbappé with… the current Ronaldo
The attitude of champion of Ronaldo led to comparisons with the temperament of winner of Kylian Mbappé … Comparisons first swept away with a back of hand by Micoud: “Yes, finally, we're going to calm down … We're not going to compare Mbappé and Ronaldo.”
But the former Bordeaux took over with a joke that caused the giggles of the plateau. “” Mbappé actually plays like Ronaldo, but the 40-year-old Ronaldo … No, it's not free, it's a player who is in the surface and who scores goals … What is he doing different from Ronaldo for three years? ». By further stacking the records, Kylian Mbappé, for his part, would certainly sign to have the same assessment as CR7.
