The French player confirmed that his impression of the new coach is excellent, pointing to his deep knowledge of the club as a former Real Madrid player and his desire to achieve success. Mbappé added in statements reported by the Spanish newspaper "Marca" that his main goal is to win titles with Real Madrid, praising the team's strong start after winning its first three league matches.

He also highlighted the lessons learned from last season, expressing the team's desire to prove itself this season, despite the difficult competition and the season's connection to the World Cup preparations. Mbappé revealed some of his career before Real Madrid, as he received several offers to move to the German league while playing for Monaco, including Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Leipzig, but he preferred to stay in France at the time. He also spoke about feeling very welcomed in Spain since joining Real Madrid, explaining that he is happy with his current position and that playing in Madrid was a dream come true for him. He emphasized that last summer gave him the opportunity to relax and prepare well for the new season. Regarding the Ballon d'Or, Mbappé revealed that he voted for his compatriot Ousmane Dembélé, noting that winning this award is achieved through collective success and winning titles, while emphasizing his personal desire to win it if he has a successful season with his team.
