Kylian Mbappé recently expressed his desire to remain at Real Madrid for many more years while aiming to secure additional trophies with the club. His comments came shortly after winning the prestigious European Golden Boot for the 2024-25 season.
Mbappé’s Golden Boot Achievement
During his debut season with Real Madrid, Mbappé scored an impressive 31 goals in LaLiga, earning him the Golden Boot awarded by the European Sports Media. This marks the first time the French forward has received this accolade.
“Winning the Golden Boot is a significant accomplishment for me,” Mbappé stated at the award ceremony held at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. The event saw attendance from head coach Xabi Alonso, the Real Madrid squad, and club president Florentino Pérez.
A Closer Look at the Statistics
- Goals Scored: 31 in LaLiga
- Total Points: 62
- Second Place: Viktor Gyökeres (58.5 points)
- Third Place: Mo Salah (58 points)
This award highlights Mbappé’s exceptional performance compared to other top players, including Harry Kane, Erling Haaland, and Robert Lewandowski, previous winners of the Golden Boot.
Teamwork and Future Aspirations
Mbappé emphasized the importance of teamwork, stating, “We have an incredible group. Winning collective prizes is what matters most.” Under Xabi Alonso’s guidance, Real Madrid has achieved a remarkable start, winning 12 out of 13 matches this season.
Currently, the team sits five points clear at the top of LaLiga following a recent victory over arch-rivals Barcelona. They are set to face Valencia next.
Remarks from Club Leadership
President Florentino Pérez praised Mbappé, referring to him as a player who embodies the club’s values. Pérez highlighted that the French star has already made significant contributions, including 16 goals at the start of the 2025-26 season.
“It’s challenging to achieve this honor. We have had only three others at Madrid: Hugo Sánchez, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ronaldo Nazario,” Pérez emphasized during the ceremony.
As Mbappé eyes his future, he aims to continue his scoring streak, indicating, “I hope to win the Golden Boot again next year. I’ve started well!”
