Kylian Mbappé was the great architect of this success by finding the net twice and delivering an assist for Hugo Ekitike. Two achievements which allow him to bring his total to 400 career goals.
After the match, in the mixed zone, the number 10 of the Blues spoke about qualifying for the World Cup. A competition where he is used to shining and which he will once again want to leave his mark on.
For him, there is one and only goal: to win.
“I don’t understand this World Cup semi-final thing. If the goal is semi-final: do we go to the semi-final, stop and go back? No. The objective is to win. It’s everyone’s dream, I think all 48 teams come to win. If we go half way we won’t say that the objective has been met,” he said in the mixed zone. The message is clear.
Mbappé wants to make history
Kylian Mbappé continues to push his limits. This Thursday evening, the Frenchman scored his 400th career goal. Stratospheric figures which place him ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi at the same age.
However, the Real Madrid striker does not intend to stop there. Number 10 wants to equal or even surpass the Argentinian and the Portuguese. “ We’re getting a little closer but as I already said, there are two players, one at 950, one at over 900, 400 doesn’t impress. If you want to shock people, you’ll have to add at least 400 more. I’m very happy, it’s a symbolic passage, but I still have to do. 1000 goals? It’s unreal. CR7 shows us that it’s possible, let’s try the unreal, a career goes quickly so I’m trying to leave an imprint. »
