France superstar Kylian Mbappe’s younger brother Ethan Mbappe has given his verdict on the “G.O.A.T” debate. Ethan has reportedly chosen Cristiano Ronaldo to be the G.O.A.T for him.
In a recent interview with his brother, Ethan reportedly said that he feels Ronaldo is better than Lionel Messi. Ethan said, “I recognize Cristiano Ronaldo as the GOAT because my brother never won a game against him, he’s a machine. Whereas against Messi he has won 3″.
Mbappe currently shares PSG dressing with Lionel Messi. In many after-match interviews, fans have heard Mbappe called the “best ever” in the football world. Although, earlier during the beginning of his illusive career, Mbappe too chose Ronaldo over Messi in the GOAT debate.
Mbappe is currently the new captain of the French national team, taking over the responsibility from Hugo Lloris. Lloris after the World Cup 2022 hung his boots from the International team. Although he is still under contract with the English club Tottenham Hotspur.

Kylian Mbappe talked about Evan Ferguson before the game against Ireland: Reports
Kylian Mbappe is regarded as one of the best players in the world and has recently scored the most goals at the World Cup. On the other hand, Evan Ferguson is currently starting out in the professional ranks. However, the 18-year-old has already established himself as one of the rising prospects in world football having become a first-team regular at Brighton & Hove Albion.
The teenager has contributed seven goals and four assists in 20 appearances for the Seagulls. And this has led to him being fast-tracked into the senior Irish setup. Ferguson has three caps to his name, scoring on his full debut on Wednesday as Stephen Kenny’s side recorded a 3-2 victory over Latvia in a friendly. The Republic of Ireland hoped that Ferguson can further enhance his reputation with an eye-catching performance versus France in Dublin. They begin their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign on Monday night.
As expected, new France captain Mbappe was asked about Ferguson in his pre-match press conference, admitting that the coaching staff had shown the team videos of the youngster. Mbappe said, as quoted by BBC Sport: “He’s a good striker, an important striker for that team. We’ve seen some clips about him, of course, but we hope tomorrow he’s going to do nothing and that means we are going to win and we’re going to do our job. But he is a good player.”
Ferguson possesses a contract at Brighton until 2026, one which is expected to help keep him at the Amex Stadium for at least another season. But still, speculation persists that some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs are considering whether to make a formal approach. Manchester United is said to be an admirer of Ferguson. Although it has been alleged that Evan will reject an immediate switch to Old Trafford. Chelsea, managed by former Brighton boss Graham Potter, and Tottenham are also allegedly monitoring the situation ahead of potentially trying to tempt Brighton into a big-money sale.
