In an AS interview, the club legend says decisive goals in tight matches will define the forward's impact.

Overview

  • He emphasized that major titles will require collective play and clear roles with Vinícius, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo, noting the need for better communication.

  • Reports note Mbappé has 18 goals in 16 matches this season for Real Madrid, underlining his status as the team’s primary scoring threat.
