Shahruddin Mahammadaliyev, goalkeeper of the Azerbaijan national football team and "Qarabagh" club, gave an interview to the Russian press.
Idman.Biz reports with reference to championat.com that the 31-year-old goalkeeper compared the game of Kilian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo in his statement.
"Mbappe is very strong. His speed is not felt on television as it is in reality. He is very fast and agile. I think the French and Portuguese national teams are equal in strength. The difference is that when we faced the Portuguese, Cristiano was no longer a dribbler, but more of a goal scorer. Mbappe is now in his best shape," said Sh. Mahammadaliyev.
Let us remind that Shahruddin Mahammadaliyev defended the goal of the Azerbaijan national team in the away game against Portugal in 2021. At that time, the goalkeeper of our national team played against Ronaldo and was able to neutralize his difficult shots several times.
