'My parents let me....' - Kylian Mbappe gives insight on Project Mbappe

One of the longest and most seemingly inevitable transfer sagas in modern football came to a end with the summer window when Kylian Mbappe finally joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain. Kylian Mbappe has scored 11 goals in 21 games since joining Real Madrid in the summer, demonstrating his ongoing skill on the field. Despite scoring nine La Liga goals in 15 games, the 25-year-old has fallen short of expectations, thus the experiment of using Mbappe in a key place in the attack has failed partially.

One of the most renowned football players in the world, Kylian Mbappe, has advised parents to reconsider forcing their kids to follow demanding training schedules in the hopes of producing the next big star. During an interview he said, “Parents doing Project Mbappe? Guys, stop that please, I am Mbappe and I’m telling you, there’s no Project Mbappe. My parents let me have fun. My dad never woke me up at 6:30 to run laps on a pitch. My parents never pressured me. I chose this path myself."

Real Madrid struggling to finding momentum

In addition to acknowledging that he did not have the finest start, the former PSG player has now spoken up about his lackluster performance in the Spanish capital. Though he anticipates Los Blancos to be a completely different team in the second half of the 2024–25 season and win significant titles, the player pledged to get back his best quickly.

Following a humiliating loss to Athletic Club, Carlo Ancelotti's team recovered on Saturday, defeating Girona 3-0 thanks to goals from Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Arda Guler. They will now play Atalanta on Tuesday night in a crucial Champions League match.

After losing three of their first five games, the 15-time record champions are now ranked 24th in the rankings, with spots 25–36 eliminated at the end of the group stage. Real Madrid, however, has been plagued by a number of issues, such as Kylian Mbappe's adjustment to life as a superstar since summer and the injury absences of several important players.
