Real Madrid made a bold move by signing Kylian Mbappe as a free agent. The French star arrived after winning a World Cup with France. He was already considered one of the best players in the world. Although his start to the season was challenging, Mbappe has now fully adapted. He even set an impressive record, surpassing both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in a historic achievement.
According to Transfermarkt, Kylian Mbappe has recorded 516 goal contributions as a professional at just 26 years old. With this achievement, Diario Marca reports that he has surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the youngest player to exceed 500 goal contributions. Despite a challenging start at Real Madrid, Mbappe has become the club’s top scorer in LaLiga.
Real Madrid’s pressure is not for everyone. Kylian Mbappe admitted that playing for the club comes with intense expectations. Despite this, he stated that the pressure helps him enjoy his game even more.
“It’s easy to say that you have the dream of playing for Real Madrid, but in the end there are players who don’t enjoy the pressure. I enjoy the whole game, I feel the pressure and I like that because I need it to do well, to play well, to make a sacrifice for the team, for me, in training, every day,” stated Mbappe on Prime Video documentary ‘Real Madrid, cómo no te voy a querer’.
