Ronaldo's Mbappe prediction revisited: Real Madrid were already strong, signing him is not necessary

According to a report in "World Sports News," two summers ago, when the news broke that Mbappe would be joining Real Madrid, Ronaldo made some remarks that now, in retrospect, have all come true.

Mbappe will not be playing in the Clásico this time. Real Madrid announced their squad list a few minutes ago for the away game against Barcelona at the Camp Nou, and the French winger was not selected.

His participation was already in doubt due to physical discomfort, and ultimately Arbeloa decided to exclude him from the list. The former Paris Saint-Germain player's performance this season has been disappointing, and Real Madrid's overall performance has also been sluggish, failing again to win any major championships.

Mbappe's second season joining Real Madrid has failed to produce the results people expected. There were high hopes for him, but his arrival has not improved the team's strength, a point that Ronaldo had already predicted.

Two years ago, after the news of Mbappe's transfer to Real Madrid was finalized, the Portuguese star made a prediction on Ferdinand's podcast, and now, as the season draws to a close, these words have been completely confirmed.

Ronaldo said: "Let's see if Mbappe can maintain a clear mind and withstand the enormous pressure. I can assure you that Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are not on the same level at all."

"I don't know if Real Madrid will become stronger after signing Mbappe. Real Madrid is still strong in itself, but I'm not sure if the team can go further because of this. We'll wait and see, only God knows."

These words seem to have foreseen that the arrival of the French international has not improved the team's playing level.
