Against all expectations, the captain of the French team appeared before the press on Tuesday in Madrid. He looked back on his complicated start to the season.

Back at his best after a complicated first few months in Madrid, Kylian Mbappé assured Tuesday that he knew he was “capable of turning the situation around” at Real and that he had“changed mentality” to bounce back after hitting rock bottom in early December. “I knew that these moments could happen and in the end I changed my mentality, because I told myself that I couldn't do worse, only better, and that I had to show that I was a high-quality player and that I could help this team”, declared the French striker at the Spanish club's training center, where his presence in front of the press caused a stir.
