"Without taking anything away from Messi, now I have to draw on Cristiano's career for inspiration," said Mbappé.

The World Cup winner also stated that the Portuguese star is the right man to end Juventus' 14-year wait for Champions League trophy.

The Bianconeri were knocked out of the tournament at the quarter-final stage by Ajax but will play Lyon in this season's round of 16.

"Juventus are a strong side - they've shown that in the finals they've played during the past few seasons.

"They have always lacked something to give them the edge and now that have that in Cristiano. He's a player who makes you win major trophies.

"This year Juventus are among the favourites - along with the usual suspects - Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool".

Mbappe has scored 13 goals in 14 matches for the Ligue 1 champion this campaign and five out of five in the Champions League.
