VIDEO: Nuno Mendes compares Mbappe to Ronaldo

Kylian Mbappe and France's attack might be misfiring, but a solid foundation can be more important at a major tournament and an outstanding defence has helped carry them to the quarter-finals of Euro 2024.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo is also failing to perform as expected for Portugal after missing a penalty against Slovenia in the Euro 2024 round of 16 match. However, his compatriot Nuno Mendes compared the two international stars to reporters.

"Yes, it's Ronaldo's last European Championship, we're going to do everything we can to offer him this European Championship as a gift. They are high-level players, even excellent, and can make a difference at any moment," he said.

"It was a pleasure to be able to play with Mbappe and I have the pleasure of playing with Cristiano. We are prepared and will prepare our goals and game ideas to arrive at the meeting and be able to implement them in the best way."
