Mbappé speaks to Vanity Fair: Miracles only happen on the pitch | OneFootball

Kylian Mbappé is the undisputed star of the new issue of Vanity Fair. The French superstar, amid the inconsistency Real Madrid is currently going through, has reflected on the extreme pressure surrounding the club. For the forward, the outside demands sometimes border on the impossible, though he remains calm.

“It’s difficult to be in a situation where everyone expects us to perform miracles,” Mbappé admits. Madrid’s No. 9 is aware that the Real Madrid badge demands excellence, but he reminds people that success is built minute by minute: “Miracles only happen on the pitch; there’s no need to play the match before the match.”

The publication also addresses the complicated reputation Mbappé is facing in Spain. Despite criticism from part of the press and the fanbase, who point to him because of his hierarchical role, the Frenchman prefers to focus on turning setbacks into positive energy.

Message of resilience

Recalling the World Cup final lost to Argentina, Kylian delivers a message of resilience that applies to his time at Chamartín: “We have to keep moving forward. We must use that disappointment and turn it into motivation to change the course of history.”

With these statements, Mbappé reaffirms his commitment to Real Madrid, a club he already calls “home.” The Frenchman knows the scrutiny is constant, but he trusts that his football will eventually silence the media noise surrounding him today.
