After signing a new contract that will keep him at Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappe’s goal is to finally lead the French side to Champions League glory
The European club giants failed to make their mark in the biggest club competition in Europe in recent years, losing to Real Madrid in the last edition, but he did not let this disappointment reduce his ambition in a clear challenge to Real Madrid, who dominates the competition
“Winning the Champions League and being PSG’s all-time top scorer are part of my objectives, but there are more than that,” Mbappe said in an interview with BFMTV
“The Champions League is a clear objective, that’s been established and announced. We don’t need any more adjectives to describe the Champions League. We want to win it and we have a way”
Mbappe attended the NBA Draft in New York on Thursday night. There, he expanded on what it would mean to him to overtake Edinson Cavani as PSG’s all-time leading scorer
“It would be something spectacular to be PSG’s top scorer,” said Mbappe. “I think that if I continue to do things the way I’ve been doing, it won’t be a problem
“This past season we weren’t as fearsome, we were far less untouchable. We want to go back to being intimidating in France, something we have not done these past two years”
Finally, Mbappe was asked whether there was any pressure from PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi to sign a new contract
“Yes, he is still my president. And now it’s over, it’s over,” Mbappe said while laughing
