Kylian Mbappe has revealed that his childhood idols Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane inspired his decision to join Real Madrid, and that he nearly joined the club at the age of 13. The French forward has now fulfilled his dream of playing for the Spanish giants, and has become a key player for the team.
Idols Inspire a Dream
Mbappe’s love for Real Madrid began when he was just a child, and it was sparked by his idolisation of Ronaldo and Zidane. “Zidane was my idol, I started because of him,” Mbappe said in a recent interview. “This club has an aura, it’s the best in the world. Since Cristiano arrived I followed every game; he was my other idol.”
A Close Call at 13
Mbappe revealed that he nearly joined Real Madrid at the age of 13, but was unable to do so due to family commitments. “I met Zidane here when I was 13,” he said. “I spent a week in Valdebebas and could only speak to Zidane because I didn’t speak any other language than French. There were opportunities to stay but it wasn’t possible because of my family. I couldn’t come alone.”
Flourishing at Madrid
After a quiet start, Mbappe has flourished at Madrid, scoring 33 goals in 51 appearances this season and becoming the second-top scorer in La Liga behind Robert Lewandowski. His performances have been impressive, and he has become a key player for the team.
What’s Next for Mbappe and Real Madrid?
Mbappe is set to lead the line for Real Madrid at Arsenal on Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final. That game is followed by a trip to Alaves at the weekend, followed by the reverse leg against the Gunners in Madrid. With his impressive form and crucial goals, Mbappe is expected to play a key role in Real Madrid’s quest for success.
Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid is a significant coup for the club, and is seen as a major boost to their chances of winning the Champions League. With his pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability, Mbappe is a threat to any defense, and is expected to be a key player for Real Madrid in the years to come.
