🚨 Reporter Thierry Henry asked Kylian Mbappé which nation he would like to see win the 2026 FIFA World Cup if France 🇫🇷 failed to lift the trophy.
🎙️ Thierry Henry:
“Kylian, every player dreams of winning the World Cup for his country. But if France 🇫🇷 doesn’t win it in 2026, which team would you personally like to see become world champions?”
🗣️ Kylian Mbappé:
“First of all, I hope that never happens because my dream is to win it again with France 🇫🇷. Representing my country is the greatest honor in football and that’s where my heart will always be.
But if France cannot win the tournament, then I think I would choose Portugal 🇵🇹.”
🎙️ Thierry Henry:
“Portugal? That’s an interesting choice. Why them?”
🗣️ Kylian Mbappé:
“Because they have built something special over the years. When you look at their squad, you see quality everywhere. They have experienced leaders, talented young players and a mentality that allows them to compete against anyone including us France, the biggest contender.
For a long time now, Portugal have consistently been among the strongest teams in international football. They know how to handle pressure, they know how to win important matches and they always seem to rise to the occasion when people doubt them.”
🎙️ Thierry Henry:
“Would Cristiano Ronaldo have something to do with that answer?”
🗣️ Kylian Mbappé:
“Of course. Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest athletes football has ever seen. His impact on the game goes far beyond goals and trophies and he’s my Idol I have learnt and still learning a lot on being him.
Growing up, every young footballer watched Cristiano. His dedication, professionalism, work ethic and hunger to improve year after year, month after month, day in day out and as well set a standard for everyone. Players from every generation, including some of the biggest stars in football Like Messi, Neymar and lots more including you, have been inspired by what he achieved.
What impresses me most is his mentality. No matter how much he won, he always wanted more. That mindset is extremely rare that I can’t even imagine.”
🎙️ Thierry Henry:
“So you would like to see Cristiano finally win the World Cup?”
🗣️ Kylian Mbappé:
“Yes, I think it would be a beautiful football story that would break the internet. He has already won almost everything possible in the sport and has spent decades giving fans unforgettable moments. He sure made my childhood I won’t like, what ever I am today he inspired it.
The World Cup is the one trophy every player dreams about, and seeing someone like Cristiano complete football with that title would be something special.
But let me be clear, France 🇫🇷 comes first, always. That’s my country and that’s where my loyalty is and will remain.
However, if France cannot do it, then I would be happy to see Portugal 🇵🇹 and Cristiano Ronaldo, my goat lift the 2026 FIFA World Cup trophy together.”
🎙️ Thierry Henry: SMH
Cristiano Ronaldo admitió en una entrevista que Kaká es una de las amistades más genuinas que le ha dejado el fútbol.
Por eso este video se está haciendo viral.
La forma en que se miran, se hablan y se respetan demuestra que algunas amistades sobreviven incluso a la rivalidad.
Periodistas, les dejo mi humilde opinión.
Si van a preguntarle algo a Cristiano Ronaldo no inicien la pregunta mencionando a Lionel Messi. Entiendan que son 23 años de carrera donde el tipo siempre ha tenido que demostrar el doble cada día y a la vez ser menospreciado por parte de la prensa malintencionada.
Ya la comparación cansa. A sus 41 años quiere seguir dando lo mejor pero sin tanta estupidez a su alrededor. Incluso cuando la pregunta ha venido sin malas intenciones, el tipo siempre ha hablado bien de Lionel. El contexto hoy era complejo. Hay un mundial en juego.
Formulen sus preguntas de otra forma y más si se trata de tipos tan honestos como Cristiano.
🚨 CRISTIANO: "Nuno Mendes' goal?
At first, I was going to shoot the ball, but I said to Nuno: "Let's trick the goalkeeper into thinking it's me who's going to shoot, then shoot hard and it'll be a goal."
@GabyLob Que triste que tergiverses todo y que insultes por no apoyar a un futbolista. Apoyar y amar a Israel no tiene nada que ver con el se de la foto.
@isaacrrr7 Hashem ama a todos y sòlo El sabe a quien bendice y cómo; y ni te imaginas cuantas personas y políticos van al Kotel para la foto y embaucar gente y hacerles creer que son pro Israel. No seas ingenuo.
El campeón del mundo con Alemania cuestionó la gestión de Gianni Infantino y aseguró que la FIFA ha priorizado los intereses comerciales por encima de la credibilidad del futbol.

Supongo que soy un caso extraño, pero cada vez me cae mejor Cristiano Ronaldo.
Si hace diez años alguien me hubiera dicho que iba a escribir este tuit, le habría llamado loco.
⚽ Cristiano Ronaldo hizo historia al convertirse, a sus 41 años, en el primer futbolista en marcar en seis Mundiales, tras anotar el gol que abría el marcador en el partido de Portugal contra Uzbekistán. Fue a los seis minutos con un derechazo dentro del área #AFP#AFPdeportes
