Mbappé compares PSG with the 'best club in the world'

Star of the Paris Saint-Germain project for seven years (2017-2024), 26-year-old striker Kylian Mbappé is now the leading forward for Real Madrid. Asked about this by Movistar, the French international compared the pressure surrounding his role at Real Madrid to that which he experienced at the club in the French capital.

Mbappé: "I am at the best club in the world, I have to win"

"The only difference is that this is the best club in the world (Real Madrid, editor's note). You’ve seen all the players who have come through here and the titles they have brought. And it’s you who put the pressure on yourself to achieve things. I am used to pressure from people. But it’s you who tells yourself: I am at the best club in the world, I have to win, I have to succeed, I have to be an example for my teammates, for the people... It’s a pressure you put on yourself and it’s positive, because it helps you raise your level. To help the team."

It is clear that after Real Madrid’s ten years of dominance on the European stage, the pressure is more than present for Kylian Mbappé, who arrives with star status. But unfortunately, he also arrives in a context where Cristiano Ronaldo left the club after winning four Champions Leagues.

Mbappé will not be able to do better, but he must do everything possible to at least keep the club at the top of Europe. The difference with his time at PSG is that there, he could make history and the history of French football. That was done without him, and it must be said that he is not making more history at Real Madrid. So maybe the pressure is greater at the best club in the world, but the result remains the same, since for now he has not gone beyond the quarter-finals with his new club.

But the striker has clearly understood the communication needed to score points with Madrid’s supporters, as he often does. On the Parisian side, one might appreciate a message that could almost suggest there was no "pressure" to succeed and "help the team" at PSG. But that’s probably not what he meant; it was simply a nice turn of phrase for Madrid.
