At 26, Kylian Mbappé will celebrate his first Christmas as a Real Madrid player. This is perhaps one of the greatest gifts that the captain of the France team gave himself, after his choice to end seven years spent at Paris Saint-Germain. But before celebrating the end of year holidays, the Bondynois had a hard time. Heavily criticized for his sporting performances, Mbappé also had to deal with extra-sporting concerns.
Looking forward to 2025
Reproaches that the person concerned mentioned during his truth interview on the show Click. “The criticisms? It’s more of a boomerang effect, when it hits your loved ones. I have no contact with French television here. I don’t look. It’s more my loved ones who watch and talk to me about it so we send it to you and when you see that it affects your loved ones, it can touch you. » Since then, things have improved.
In La Liga, the Frenchman has four goals and one assist in his last five appearances. In terms of accounting, Mbappé ends this year 2024 with 14 goals scored with Madrid. And at the end of the match against Sevilla (4-2), the former Parisian assured that he was now ready. “My adaptation is finished. I now feel very good in this team. We know each other better with my partners, I play better with them and it shows that I have been better for several matches. »
Objective 33 goals, at least
As for the Spanish press, after having praised it, the media are now impatiently awaiting 2025. And for A.S.Mbappé is “in Cristiano mode”. Understand, the Frenchman may have been criticized, but he did better than Cristiano Ronaldo when the Portuguese arrived at Real Madrid. Indeed, CR7 ended its 2009 year with 13 achievements. Mbappé therefore has one more and is even tied with Vinicius Junior, the current Merengue offensive leader. A statistic which is above all a reason for hope.
The comparison with CR7 stops there since there is no question of comparing six months of Madrid’s career to the Lusitanian’s nine stratospheric years in the Spanish capital (450 goals scored in 438 matches). But all of Madrid now hope that the end of the Frenchman’s adaptation will lead to the famous “ketchup effect” in terms of goals. A.S. also did not fail to recall that Cristiano Ronaldo had finished his first season in Spain with 33 goals. Will Kylian Mbappé be able to do as well, or even better?
