Let’s say that Kylian Mbappé is starting to silence a lot of his detractors. Arriving with great fanfare at Real Madrid last summer, Kylian Mbappé was to continue building his legend in the Spanish capital. Having left freely from Paris Saint-Germain where the Bondynois had experienced a somewhat failed end to his adventure after having marked his history and that of the residents of the Parc des Princes in seven years of living together, the 26-year-old striker now wanted to mark the story of the club of his dreams. Passionate about Real Madrid since his childhood, the player trained at AS Monaco arrived in Madrid in a European champion team and alongside other stars of world football.
A new adventure which had its share of difficulties and Mbappé experienced quite a few during his debut in the Iberian capital. Singled out for his poor performances on the field, KM9 was also torn by extra-sporting stories which certainly did not help him manage his difficulties on the field. Cited by the Swedish press in a rape case in Stockholm or even absent from the last two gatherings of the French team after a failed Euro in Germany, Mbappé has not gone through the best period of his career over the last six months. However, following an interview with Canal+ and a return from injury, the top scorer in the history of Paris Saint-Germain showed a clearly brighter face on the field during his last outings with the Merengues. Enough to instill growing hope in Spain for the former resident of INF Clairefontaine.
Kylian Mbappé intends to bring everyone back into agreement
Obviously, after a very difficult year 2024 with PSG, Real Madrid and the French team, Mbappé intends to achieve his redemption for 2025. To achieve this, the Madrid number 9 would have set three priority objectives. After a strong message in which he addressed Real Madrid supporters in particular by making big promises, several pieces of information are circulating behind the scenes about Kylian Mbappé’s great wishes. In today’s edition, The Team explains in particular that the player has set three major objectives for the new year. The first would be to simply put Madrid at its feet. Aware of his difficulties at the start of the season, Mbappé has been feeling better for several weeks and intends to capitalize on this timely return to form.
In parallel with this club objective, the captain of the France team intends to recover his letters of nobility with the Blues. While he has not seen Clairefontaine and Didier Deschamps since a stormy September rally, rumors are rife about Mbappé’s future with the Blues. Determined to return quickly, the French number 10 will also have to reconsider his wishes for captaincy. Finally, Mbappé wants to once again become a credible candidate for the Ballon d’Or. While several of his competitors are struggling, Mbappé wants to win his first Ballon d’Or this new year. Believing that he should have won the 2018 edition and that he was very close to winning the prize in 2023, the Real Madrid striker is aware that he has a card to play in 2025 and this will notably pass by a memorable second part of the season with the Merengues and the French team in the Nations League. It remains to be seen whether his good resolutions will be applied in 2025. First elements of response this Friday evening against Valencia (9 p.m.).
