Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that his son tells him Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé is a better player than him.

The Portuguese legend moved to the top of the goal-scoring rankings with two goals in Al Nassr's convincing Saudi Pro League victory over the weekend.

However, despite his impressive two goals, it was not enough to impress his 5-year-old son Mateo.

The Portugal star said that his son preferred Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid, despite football fans believing Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest of all time.

Ronaldo acknowledged that the France captain has outperformed him in his son's eyes in an interview with Spanish publication La Sexta.

According to ESPN, he said, "Mateo, he really likes Mbappé. He sometimes tells me, ‘Hey dad, Mbappé is better than you,' and I reply by saying, 'No, I am better than him, I have scored more goals."

Despite his son’s comment, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner told his son that he is better than the French star.
