An undisputed figure at Real Madrid, Dani Carvajal, who is sidelined for the rest of the season due to a knee injury, has made significant revelations about Kylian Mbappé. Considered the current leader of the Madrid team, the French forward was praised by the Spanish right-back this Tuesday.
Clearly, everything is going in Kylian Mbappé’s favour in recent weeks. Arriving as a true star at Real Madrid in the summer of 2024, the French striker is having an exceptional first season. Criticised at the start of his adventure due to his mixed performances, the former PSG player has turned things around since December 2024. Much more liberated on the pitch, KM9 has been delivering top-class performances and, most importantly, scoring goals. In recent hours, the daily newspaper Marca revealed a poll conducted among 22,000 Madrid residents, 46% of whom consider the French forward to be the leader of the team. This Tuesday, Dani Carvajal confirmed this.
“He’s clearly a leader”
Invited by Radio Marca, the Spanish right-back, who is sorely missed by the team due to his serious knee injury at the start of the season, had much praise for Kylian Mbappé. Speaking candidly, Dani Carvajal stated that the new player in the squad is currently the best player in the world. “He’s clearly a leader. He’s one of the best players in the world, perhaps even the best. He adapted perfectly from day one, he’s a fantastic guy, and he’s one of us. It feels like he’s been here for 5 or 6 years,” he said to Marca’s microphone.
For Kylian Mbappé, this statement says a lot about his current popularity among the Madrid fans. In great form, the captain of the French national team now has the obligation to continue his ascent to the top. In addition to his goals and performances, which will bring much to Real Madrid, KM9 could even position himself for individual trophies such as the Ballon d’Or 2025 and the Golden Boot.
With 22 goals currently, everything is possible for the French star, who has undeniably won the hearts of Madrid. Let’s hope he continues to meet expectations in this crucial second and final part of the season for the team.
