Mbappé's First Interview in Spain Is Now a Reality: 'It's the First Time...'

The striker from Bondy has participated in an interview with Ana Pastor, journalist from LaSexta

The arrival of Kylian Mbappé has become a phenomenon in every sense. With the Bondy striker in Santiago Bernabéu locker room, the first team aspires at this point in the season to win the first treble in its entire history. But it is not the only change the white club has undergone since the arrival of the French '9'.

Because Kylian Mbappé has already participated in his first interview in Spain. The official announcement of the broadcast of that piece, conducted by a team from LaSexta with Ana Pastor at the helm, has surprised everyone. The journalist has released part of that conversation with the merengue forward through social media as promotional material.

In that short video, Kylian Mbappé can be seen walking through the interior of Santiago Bernabéu stadium. "What I wanted is to play here at the Bernabéu, with the jersey, with all the people saying my name, scoring goals, being happy", he states. He also recalls that "I started as a fan of 'Zizou', with the Galácticos, it's the best club in the world, it has an aura that others don't have", the now merengue forward asserts.

Additionally, Kylian Mbappé remembers that "I had this dream that later became a goal and now it's a reality", a clear reference to the seven years of constant sagas every summer. Both his mother and his father "have been very important for my journey and to get here, to fulfill my dream". But Kylian Mbappé confesses, at the same time, as "a normal man, who sees life, who sees the things that happen, who has things he likes...".

An Unforgettable Moment

That human side is usually significantly set aside when the ball starts rolling. "In the end, I give my opinion, with the values I have and that I think are good for me and for the world", the Bondy striker recalls about his personal life. He also doesn't hide his desire to "win cups, LaLiga, the Champions League, and all the things I can win with Madrid".

Being a Real Madrid player is a completely different experience because Mbappé can feel the team's support "when we travel away from home and that's a very good thing. I think I'm a guy you can see on my face when I'm happy, right? And now I'm happy", the merengue footballer notes about his first season as a white player.

The video published by Ana Pastor on social media also reveals that Kylian Mbappé had not been in the stands of Santiago Bernabéu stadium until that interview conducted at the stadium. The now white '9' reveals that he has not seen any match from the seats occupied by fans every matchday given the hectic nature of his arrival.

Kylian Mbappé has the opportunity to make history wearing the white jersey. The merengue entity has been waiting for seven years for his entry into Santiago Bernabéu locker room, a time that many white fans are beginning to forget thanks to his 33 goals scored... so far this season.
