Overview
- Mbappé told Sky Sport Italia that he “definitely” prefers AC Milan over Inter in a pre-match interview conducted before Real Madrid’s Champions League tie.
- He said Inter are a team that deserve a lot of respect and called them a quality side, framing his remarks as match‑focused praise.
- Mbappé said his first thought at the Champions League draw was for his friend Marcus Thuram, not for Inter as a club.
- He complimented Inter captain Lautaro Martínez as a great player and added that he hopes Martínez does not show that form in the game.
- The comments echo Mbappé’s 2024 remarks about a special bond with AC Milan and should be read as personal and sporting commentary rather than a signal of any transfer intent.
