Last season, striker Joselu left many marks at Real Madrid. In the journey with the Royals to conquer the La Liga and Champions League championships, the Spanish striker scored 17 goals and 3 assists, especially 2 goals against Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals.
However, the presence of Mbappe forced Joselu to choose to leave Real Madrid in the summer of 2024. Evaluating the performance of the person who took his place, the former Espanyol star pointed out the points that his colleague needs to improve, according to Madrid Universal: "Oh, he has six or seven goals and also plays more on the left wing. Playing at Real Madrid is never easy, because the pressure at the Bernabeu is very high, because of the demands of the world's top team.
You have to score goals, play well, win titles and everyone just wants that. Let's wait for the best version of Mbappe. We know his quality, he will bring a lot of success."
Arriving at Real Madrid, many people believe that Kylian Mbappe will be Ronaldo's successor. In addition to sharing the same speedy playing style, the French striker also idolized CR7 since childhood.
Joselu believes that Mbappe's ability to match Ronaldo is impossible, but he can approach the Portuguese legend: "Cristiano is the 'GOAT' of Real Madrid, the top scorer in the history of the club. Mbappe's goal is to reach similar numbers, but Ronaldo will always be the greatest player of Real Madrid."
Kylian Mbappe has now scored 7 goals and 1 assist in all competitions and is Real Madrid's top scorer. However, he is only fourth in the La Liga top scorer list, 5 goals behind leader Lewandowski.
