Kylian Mbappe gave a nod to two of the greats while he tore apart Manchester City in the Champions League.
Mbappe yielded a hat trick to send the Cityzens package from the competition before they could even reach the last 16 actual profit in a 3-1 victory (6-3 over aggregated).
It was a performance to remember for Mbappe, who not only channeled his inner Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi with his efforts on the ball, but also with his parties.
The Frenchman nodded at each of the stars while he celebrated his goals in the Santiago Bernabeu.
His first goal, a delicious chip about Ederson, saw him make the most recent celebration of Ronaldo in more detail at the raw home fans.
Ronaldo imitated a broken ball with his hand after he had put WASL against Al Wasl earlier this month.
And Mbappe seemed to do the same after looping the ball over Edererson's head and hit the atmosphere with his arms extended.
He made sure that his second goal, a winding finish in the bottom corner, completely his own wax – celebrate with his teammates and enjoyed a goal that brought Madrid well and really in the row of chair.
But his celebration for his Hattrick goal was reserved for a tribute to Lionel Messi.
After scoring a drilled left -wing attempt from the edge of the area, Mbappe counted his three goals on his fingers – simulating the celebration of Lionel Messi in 2011 against Mallorca.
Despite the honor of two of the greatest players who ever played the game, Mbappe is currently creating a lot of its own legacy.
After his performance on Wednesday evening, the 26-year-old now has more than 500 contributions from career goals.
Despite his electric display, teammate Jude Bellingham fans wanted to remind that Madrid is so much more than Mbappe.
He said to TNT Sports: “Kylian is just flying now. But sometimes we need a reminder that talent is not enough.
“You need organization, you need bet and we worked on that after a few bad results.”
Manager Carlo Ancelotti described the World Cup winner as “Fantastic” in his interview after the game, while even club legend Zinedine Zidane seemed impressed by the stands.
Mbappe's Ode to Ronaldo and Messi should not be a surprise with the star who idolates the couple throughout his career.
He said earlier about Ronaldo: “I just want to admire the greatness of Cristiano.
“There will be no one like him. He has left a stamp on football history.”
While he was flowing over Messi, despite the last heartache of the World Cup in the hands of his Argentina side in 2022.
Mbappe, who played with Messi at PSG, said: “Playing with Leo Messi is definitely something that I miss a lot.
“You don't always miss playing with Leo Messi! For an attacker like me, who likes to attack spaces, you have the certainty that you can get the ball.
“It was a luxury that almost only he can give you. Furthermore, playing with Messi was special.”
