It's no secret Kylian Mbappe idolises Cristiano Ronaldo - and now he has copied the man himself.

Footage has surfaced online of the Paris Saint-Germain striker celebrate scoring 100 goals for Mauricio Pochettino's side by copying the Portuguese legend's iconic celebration after achieving the same milestone for Manchester United

The video shows Mbappe raising his hands in front of his face before making a 'one' and a 'zero' with his fingers. 

It took Mbappe - who is PSG's top scorer this season with 15 goals in all competitions - four years to achieve this feat.

By comparison, Ronaldo needed another year before he scored the same number of goals for Sir Alex Ferguson's men.

Mbappe has previously spoken of his admiration for Ronaldo, which stems from early childhood. 

Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, the French World Cup winner recalled all the times he has come up against Ronaldo playing for France in international football competitions, as well as in the Champions League

When asked about his idols, he said: "Well, I've had phases. To start, as a child, it was Zidane. If you're a boy and you're French, your idol is Zidane.

"After that, it was Cristiano [Ronaldo], who I have been fortunate enough to have faced as a rival, at club level and with the national team.

"Then it was the Brazilian Ronaldo for the way he played.

"I want to leave that sort of a mark with my values, to leave a message in the history of football."
