Kylian Mbappe is expected to become the best player in the world when or if he signs for Real Madrid in the near future. The Frenchman has been a goal machine in France scoring more than 300 career goals before turning 25.
However, a couple of Real Madrid fans on Reddit are refusing to believe that Mbappe will go on to achieve greater things at Real Madrid than a certain Gareth Bale if he eventually joins the club.
Here's what they said:
💭BigMik_PL: "If Mbappe comes he's never living up to the hype, calling it now. We would be lucky if he would have Gareth Bale career arc with Madrid."
💭Another fan replied: "This is disrespectful to Bale IMO. He was extremely pivotal in 3 Champions League finals.
"Scored the go-ahead goal vs Atleti in 2014.
"Was very good against Atleti again in 2016
"Single-handedly won the final vs Liverpool in 2018
"We'd be very lucky if any player we sign in the future even ends up being half as influential as Bale was in his time here," he concludes.

Here's a quick reminder of what Bale once did in the Champions League final:
