Kylian Mbappé arrived at Real Madrid under the weight of immense expectation and comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo were inevitable. Yet, from the moment he donned the iconic white jersey, Mbappé exuded confidence despite flashes of bad outcome in some of his matches in Madrid jersey. He has since found his confidence again. “No one at Real Madrid will regret my signing,” he declared. “I want to win titles in 2025. That’s the mission.”
The early weeks of the season were a blend of flashes of brilliance and moments of adjustment. Mbappé’s blistering pace threatened defenses, but finding chemistry with his new teammates took time. Carlo Ancelotti, ever the tactician, allowed him the freedom to express himself while integrating him gradually into Real Madrid’s attacking fabric.
With 14 goals already this season, Mbappé has surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo’s 13-goal tally from his 2009 debut campaign. “I ask 2025 for many titles, many games like today, and to enjoy playing for Real Madrid,” Mbappé said after his latest brace against Sevilla.
His synergy with Vinícius Jr. and Jude Bellingham has created one of the most formidable trios in European football. The Madridistas have found a new talisman to rally behind.
“Good for all Madrid fans and their families, good things in personal life because it is the most important thing. And then many titles,” Mbappé added with a smile, reflecting his desire for collective and personal success.
As the calendar edges closer to the knockout stages of the Champions League, Mbappé stands poised to lead Madrid’s charge for silverware. The fans believe, the team believes, and most importantly, Kylian Mbappé believes.
Madrid knows that in Mbappé, they’ve found a relentless self-competitor. Always looking to do better than his previous performance.
