Real Madrid Official Backs Kylian Mbappé Through Difficult Start

With Mbappé not being the player that many grew accustomed to seeing at PSG, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez spoke to the media and defended the player.

“Kylian Mbappé’s arrival at Real Madrid was one of the footballing events that will forever be etched in the memories of football fans,” Perez said (h/t But Football Club). “On July 16, the Bernabéu once again became the epicenter of world football with a historic presentation.

“Mbappé came to Madrid making an effort no one could have imagined. He has already helped us win our first title of the season in Warsaw, scoring and securing the UEFA Super Cup (against Atalanta), his first title in the jersey he has dreamed of wearing since he was a child.”
