Kylian Mbappe: “For me, playing for Real Madrid is like a gift from God” Kylian Mbappe is currently in his second season at Real Madrid, having arrived from PSG as a free agent in the summer of 2024. While it has not entirely been a roaring success for him at the Santiago Bernabeu, in terms of trophies, the French megastar has continued to deliver on an individual level. In his debut season, Mbappe won the European Golden Boot, having netted 44 goals across all competitions.
This time around, he is on track to beat that tally, having already scored 39 times from only 38 matches. Having sat down for an interview with GQ (h/t Mundo Deportivo ) recently, Mbappe opened up on a variety of topics, including what it meant for him to play for Real Madrid. “For me, playing for Real Madrid is like a gift from God.
To have the opportunity to live my passion, to play in the best matches, to be at the best club in the world,” said the France captain. “I am always very grateful to be on the pitch, to get up every morning and do what makes me happy,” he added. Talking about the feeling of stepping out on the Santiago Bernabeu pitch, Mbappe remarked: “I love being on the field, and feeling that I am stepping on the best ground in the world, in a country that, football-wise, is one of the best in the world.
