Mbappé rules out playing until Age 41 like Ronaldo

n n

Kylian Mbappé has ruled out the possibility of following Cristiano Ronaldo’s path by continuing his career until the age of 41.

n

As reported by Fabrizio Romano on X on Thursday, Mbappé was asked about the prospect of playing at the highest level for as long as Ronaldo has.

n

The France captain responded with a smile: “France would never let me play until I’m 41!”

n

However, Mbappé was quick to praise Ronaldo for maintaining his physical and mental condition throughout his long career.

n

“Cristiano shows that if you’re in good physical and mental shape, you can play at this high level for a long time,” Mbappé said.

n

Despite his admiration for Ronaldo’s longevity, Mbappé admitted that he does not see himself doing the same.

n

“In my case, I don’t see it happening,” he told BILD.

n

Ronaldo’s ability to continue competing at an elite level into his 40s remains an unusual example of career longevity, while Mbappé appears to have a different timeline in mind for his own career.
