the press conference highlights of Kylian Mbappé on the day of his presentation as a new player for Real Madrid:
🚨🚨🎙️- Kylian Mbappé:
"Before stepping onto the field, I was watching television with excitement. I saw those pictures of me when I was a child. It has been a great day for me, my family, and I hope also for all Real Madrid fans and the club."
  • Do you remember what Zidane said to you when you trained at Valdebebas twelve years ago?
🚨🚨🎙️- Kylian Mbappé:
"Yes, I came to Madrid in 2012. It was a dream, something crazy, a boy of 13 years old who came to Real Madrid and was welcomed by Zidane. It was a beautiful moment in my life. That's why I addressed the kids in the stadium, I know that after what they've seen today, they will leave the stadium with many dreams, and I want to tell them that with passion and work, anything can happen. If you work hard and have a bit of luck, anything can happen."
  • Do you have any specific goals for your first season? For example, goals and titles?
🚨🚨🎙️- Kylian Mbappé:
"My goals are not different from the club's goals. My goal is definitely to win titles. I'm at a club that has won titles before me and will continue to win after me. When you talk about goals, it doesn't just mean scoring goals. I'm not the only player who can score goals, but I'm sure I will always score goals."
  • Vinicius?
🚨🚨🎙️- Kylian Mbappé:
"I know who he is, he has a very good reputation. I haven't seen him play much, I've seen him with the Brazilian national team. He's definitely a talent. When you sign with this club, you're a talent. Brazil is a football country, he's a young player, and he will surely need to learn things. If he needs advice or help, I'll be here for him. I know what it means for Real Madrid."
  • What did you feel when you woke up this morning? Are you going to the preseason in the United States?
🚨🚨🎙️- Kylian Mbappé:
"I slept for an hour and a half alone yesterday (laughs). I woke up with a lot of pressure, pressure to enjoy every second. I didn't want that to prevent me from experiencing everything I went through today. It was very important. For me to see everything, to get the maximum details, because it's a unique day. I want people to really see what it means, my presence here. The fans here for me, let's see with the coach if he wants that I travel with the team and I follow what the coach tells me."
  • How do you feel about this reception?
🚨🚨🎙️- Kylian Mbappé:
"I imagined this moment many times and maybe I was wrong, because today was amazing. I didn't expect that. The affection that all Real Madrid fans gave me was wonderful. When I came to Spain last year, when we played against Real Sociedad, all the fans treated me very well. It's mutual love because it's really something unique."
  • Vinicius and Rodrygo?
🚨🚨🎙️- Kylian Mbappé:
"Vinicius is a unique player, and I'm very happy to play with him and with Rodrygo and with the others. Great players can always play together. I won't have problems in playing with Vinicius, he has had perfect seasons in Real Madrid. I must adapt to help Vinicius and Rodrygo and all the players in the team to win."
  • Cristiano Ronaldo?
🚨🚨🎙️- Kylian Mbappé:
"1, 2, 3, hala Madrid was a signal to Cristiano. He's a friend who gives me a lot of advice. He made history at Real Madrid. He always advises me to work. It was hard for him in the European Cup, but this doesn't change anything about the legend that he is. Send a hug."
  • Did you notice the weight of history when you wore the shirt?
🚨🚨🎙️- Kylian Mbappé:
"Yes, I'm in a historical and legendary club. Its legacy is heavy when you wear the shirt, but I consider it a privilege. I have been lucky enough to play for great clubs. In Monaco, which is a good greeting for young people, Paris Saint-Germain, and now Real Madrid, the most important club in the world. I am pleased to be here and I hope to rise to the level of it."
  • Did you receive criticism from Madrid fans for what happened in 2022?
🚨🚨🎙️- Kylian Mbappé:
"This is part of football. The affection and love given to me by all Real Madrid fans are incredible. I was not a player at Real Madrid and I did not play any match here, and they already give me an incredible love. I really want to give my life for this shirt and this logo, people trust me, I have to do things well on and off the field to enjoy my dream by 100%."
  • Who is your teammate who insisted most on signing with Real Madrid?
🚨🚨🎙️- Kylian Mbappé:
"The French have always told me to come. Vinicius sent me many messages that say that we will play together on the top floor. I did not need messages from players to know that it is the best club in the world. I really want to play with him, with them too."
  • What does Florentino Perez mean to you?
🚨🚨🎙️- Kylian Mbappé:
"From the first day, he put his trust in me. He gave me a lot of love and helped me. The feeling that your president loves you is an important thing to start a new stage. I am very happy with this relationship."
  • What can you contribute?
🚨🚨🎙️- Kylian Mbappé:
"Real Madrid is a team that always wins, and that's why it's the best in the world. What I want is to contribute this grain of sand to the team, it's a really good team. I'm very happy and excited. To adapt quickly and give them everything they ask of me, I really want to come here and train and enjoy my new team."
  • How are you living this moment?
🚨🚨🎙️- Kylian Mbappé:
"As I said before, I had a lot of pressure. This morning, when I woke up, I thought that I must enjoy every second and not let my nerves prevent me. The passion that the fans show is incredible. I must be grateful for all their messages. I already have this communication with the fans, and it's a dream and it has become a reality."
