Speaking to Vanity Fair via TeamTalk, Mbappe said:
“And also, the weather is so nice, it’s peaceful to be in a place like this, and I really enjoy my time in Madrid.”
He added:
“It’s the big club in the world, so it’s such a blessing to be part of this club and this project.”

While Mbappe is expected to feature prominently for Real Madrid next season, Spanish journalist Juanma Rodríguez labelled the forward a “flop” and questioned his commitment to the club, despite the former AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain ace scoring 85 goals in 100 appearances for Los Blancos.
