Ronaldo picks Haaland and Mbappe as his successors
Speaking at his unveiling as LiveScore’s Official Global Brand Ambassador, Ronaldo was asked to single out one player who could become the sport's biggest star, following in the footsteps of himself and Lionel Messi.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner responded:
“It is hard to choose just one player to say this one will be the best. But I think it is exciting to see this new generation of young players, like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé.
“Some players can have one or two great seasons, the really great players are the ones that keep doing it season after season. That is not so easy to do. It takes a lot of hard work and a lot of commitment,” he said.
Mbappe and Haaland are now the frontrunners for the 2024 Ballon d'Or after the latter finished second to Messi in this year's voting.
