"He doesn't look it to me. We're all well aware that this a project in its early stages. As part of playing for Madrid, one of the goals along the way is always to win the Champions League. I hope it happens sooner rather than later, and that we're following the right path to get there. Kylian is part of that."
"Given his personality, his experience and the influence he has on others. He's one of the leaders and when the group is strong and consolidated, the rest of the squad know who they have to look at, whose example they should follow. Kylian is one of them."
Kylian Mbappé shows no signs of anxiety ahead of Real Madrid's Champions League opener against Marseille at the Santiago Bernabéu. Real Madrid start a campaign aiming for a record-extending 16th European Cup after a quarter-final exit to Arsenal last season, which ended Mbappé's most recent attempt to win the trophy. Mbappé remains without a Champions League winners' medal despite a 2018 World Cup victory, seven Ligue 1 titles and a 2020 final defeat with Paris Saint-Germain. The forward has 79 goal involvements (55 goals, 24 assists) in 87 Champions League appearances and is regarded as a leader with strong influence on teammates.
