Last season, Kylian Mbappé went through all the feelings. Having fulfilled his childhood dream by joining Real Madrid after years of good and loyal service at PSG, the 26-year-old striker initially disappointed. Struggling to get his bearings in this new context, the player trained at AS Monaco made a timid start despite goals which were quick to pile up. More authoritarian thereafter, he showed that he was beginning to acclimatize to the Madrid game and had more impact in his team’s victories.
However, this was not enough because the Merengues did not win any major titles in the last vintage. From an individual point of view, this 2024-2025 edition is satisfactory for the former resident of INF Clairefontaine. Author of 44 goals in 59 matches, the former Parisian has proven to be a scoring machine that is still as effective in front of goal. Top scorer in the Spanish championship, Mbappé also won the first Golden Shoe of his career. An outcome which inevitably made the person concerned happy who received his trophy this Friday from the Spanish media Marca. The opportunity for Real number 10 to grant an interview to our Spanish colleagues.
Kylian Mbappé does not want to compare himself to Cristiano Ronaldo
Asked about his pride in winning such a title, Mbappé expressed his enthusiasm and explained that he wanted to win it again next season: “Of course. Since I was little, I have dreamed of scoring goals. All children who start playing football dream of scoring, scoring again and again. In the end, it’s a very important reward that makes me very happy, but everyone knows that collective successes are what matters most. I hope to win another Golden Boot in the future, but above all, I hope we win the championship. If we talk about my Golden Boot and my goals in the league, my goal this year is to continue this momentum with the team. If we win the championship and I win another Golden Shoe, I will be even happier than today.»
Then revived on his desire for greatness with Real Madrid, Mbappé was compared to Cristiano Ronaldo. The opportunity for the Frenchman to make a frank clarification of the comparisons with his youth idol: “I don’t know how to answer this question. Everyone knows that Cristiano is the reference in Madrid, the number one. I’ve been here a year and a half, and he’s been here for nine years. I can’t compare myself to what he accomplished; my journey is different. I want to forge my own path, but to be mentioned alongside Cristiano is already an honor. I only focus on my own journey, on helping the team and winning all the titles possible.» This is what is said.
