"When you play for Real Madrid you have to win every game"

Kylian Mbappe shared, among all his teammates, the leadership he has begun to assume in recent matches by stating that, “at Real Madrid, all the players are leaders” and assured that he is “very happy” after having adapted to the club to play “with personality”. “At Real Madrid, all the players are leaders, it is the best club in the world and the best are here. We have to be united because we have a lot to win. It is normal that people are not happy because when you play for Real Madrid you have to win every game, but we are united and we are going to fight for all the titles that are still to come,” he said.

“It's always a dream to hear my name at the Bernabeu, I'm very happy because I've adapted to the team and I can play the way I want with my teammates with personality and I think everyone enjoys the team's play,” he said. He was sympathetic to the anger of the Madrid fans after being beaten in the final of the Spanish Super Cup by Barcelona, but highlighted the team's reaction to become La Liga leaders.

“After what happened with Atletico and Barcelona, we wanted to win and we did. We started badly because, after a few seconds, conceding a goal is very difficult at home, but the team's reaction was outstanding, we played attacking, fast, we looked for spaces and played with quality. We scored a lot of goals and all the Madridistas enjoyed it. We are happy because we are leaders,” he said on ‘Real Madrid TV’.

“It was very important to have a reaction after losing the Spanish Super Cup, an important defeat because it was a final. In Copa del Rey, we played well, but we made mistakes that led to extra time, but, in the end, we have the personality to win a very important match. Now, we depend on ourselves in the league because we are first,” he said.
