Kylian Mbappé has commented on the fleeting nature of football fans’ memories regarding past accomplishments, noting that accolades tend to disappear quickly. In an interview with Sorare, the forward for Real Madrid discussed the pressures he faces, his legacy, and his goals for both his club and national team.
In his words:
Sometimes, it seems people have AMNESIA. You can win everything… next day, they forget.
Softfootball reported that despite facing criticism, Mbappé expressed his pride in representing Real Madrid, underscoring his wish to make a meaningful impact at the Santiago Bernabéu.
I’m very proud to play for Real Madrid and I have a strong desire to make my mark on Real Madrid’s history.
If you make your mark on the history of the greatest club in the world, you have a special place in the history of football.
Mbappé also discussed the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, indicating that he believes this tournament could be the last for both Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar. He hopes to play against these iconic players on the world stage one more time.
Reflecting on the World Cup final in 2022, where France was defeated by Argentina, Mbappé mentioned he has yet to rewatch the game:
He noted that watching it again could
awaken some demons, insisting that the team must move forward since the result cannot be changed.
The captain of the French team is now looking ahead, motivated to achieve more significant honors in his career and secure his legacy among football’s elite.
