 Mbappe: I am the best in the world... and my ambition kept me away from Real Madrid

Paris Saint-Germain and France striker Kylian Mbappe sees himself as the best player in the world.


Mbappe gave an interview to the Sports Illustrated network, led by a question: Who is the best player in the world? The French player replied: "I am."



Turning to the scenes of renewing his contract with Paris, and his transfer to Real Madrid was disrupted at the last minute, he said: "The page of achievements in Paris is completely white... It is a valuable opportunity that makes you think differently."


He added, "Of course, it was easier to go to Real Madrid, but I had a different ambition. I am French, the son of Paris, and success in Paris will be special and exceptional. My name will be written in the history of my country for life. You can stay here to be successful."


He continued, "For us, it's a big message...because when I announced that I would stay, a lot of things changed in the mentality of people in France, and they started saying, 'Yes, we don't need to leave the country.'"


And he added: "The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, called me and said (I know you want to leave, I want to tell you that you are also important in France, I don't want you to leave, you have a chance to write history here .. everyone loves you) and I replied that I enjoyed his words .. It was a crazy moment, the president is calling you and he wants you to stay."

World Cup and retirement


In another context, Mbappe said: "Winning the 2018 World Cup changed my life. Everything changed after winning the World Cup. I was famous before the World Cup, and my popularity increased after it. It took me time to learn to stay calm."


He confirmed that he thought about retiring after Euro 2020, explaining: "I said:

I can't play for people who think I'm a monkey.. But then I thought with those around me and my colleagues, and I was convinced that I should not give up, because I am a role model for many, and my continuation with the national team will send a message that we are stronger." of these racist behaviours.


And the former Monaco star continued: "My mentality since I was young is to achieve more.. Winning the last World Cup is not the ceiling of my ambitions."


He concluded: "Of course it is difficult to win the title twice in a row .. But if you want to write history, you have to do something that no one does .. So let's try, and I think we have a good team, the coach has not changed, and the whole people support us."
