Kylian Mbappé, the forward for Real Madrid, recently gave his first significant interview in Spain to the television channel La Sexta, where he discussed a range of important topics regarding his career and personal life.

In this interview, Mbappé expressed his ambition to make a lasting impact at Real Madrid and emphasized his desire to win the UEFA Champions League, stating that this goal is more significant to him than winning the Ballon d'Or, which he categorized as an individual accolade.

Regarding his decision to join Real Madrid, Mbappé addressed queries about a salary reduction compared to his earnings at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), stating that financial considerations were not difficult to prioritize over the legacy he aims to build with the club.

Furthermore, he shared insights about his family, particularly his mother, challenging the often negative portrayal of her in the media.

He clarified that he does not view her strictly as his agent, but rather as his mother who prioritizes his well-being, adding that she offers similar support to his brother, albeit with less public visibility.

In his comments about his Real Madrid teammate Vinicius Jr., Mbappé expressed a strong desire for the Brazilian forward to remain with the club, asserting, 'I cannot imagine Real Madrid without Vini.' This statement comes amid ongoing transfer rumors linking Vinicius Jr. to clubs in Saudi Arabia.

The remarks from Mbappé come in the wake of Real Madrid's recent loss to Valencia (2-1) at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, which has allowed FC Barcelona to extend their lead at the top of La Liga to four points, with eight matches remaining in the season.
