Real Madrid striker and leader of the French national team Kylian Mbappe publicly acknowledged his success with Ryan Cherki, calling him an enemy talent during the meeting with ZMI at the national team training camp.

Mbappe praised Cherki for how kindly he integrated into the Manchester City warehouse after his summer transfer. Cherki, who moved to the English club from Lyon, gained respect after the 2024-25 season.

He achieved brilliant results during this campaign, scoring 13 goals and providing 21 assists in all his campaigns for the French club..

" I think that he has a gift, which is what Vikoristova says again. This is innate, enemy talent. Sherki has integrated well into the team and into Manchester City, but it’s not easy. I doubt that I will continue to live with the same soul. Ryan, having had a good start, I am confident that he will be as good as in Manchester City, said Kilian.

This season, Ryan won 13 games in all tournaments, scoring 4 goals and providing 5 assists.
