His contributions have already led to two trophies, namely, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, with the forward scoring pivotal goals in both finals.

Speaking candidly during a BeUNITED program event with young fans, Mbappé described Real Madrid as unmatched in stature.

“I went to the biggest club in the world,” he declared, as quoted by SportBIBLE.
