Cristiano Ronaldo believes he could help unlock a new level of Kylian Mbappé's game now that the Frenchman is leading Real Madrid's line.

Real Madrid have filed a formal complaint to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) asking for the “immediate submission of VAR audio” related to two decisions in their 1-0 defeat by Espanyol. The complaint follows referee Alejandro Muniz Ruiz’s decision to show Espanyol defender Carlos Romero a yellow card for a 60th-minute challenge on Kylian Mbappe as well as a disallowed goal by Vinicius Junior in the 21st minute after a foul by the France forward.

Cristiano Ronaldo has said Real Madrid must "look after" Kylian Mbappé, saying the star forward must "do things his way" as he looks to follow in Ronaldo's footsteps.
