Kylian Mbappé has expressed his desire to remain at Real Madrid for the long haul after being awarded the European Golden Boot for the 2024-25 season. The French superstar, who netted an impressive 31 goals in LaLiga during his inaugural campaign with the club, received the prestigious accolade at a ceremony held at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. In attendance were coach Xabi Alonso, club president Florentino Pérez, and his teammates, all celebrating this significant personal achievement for the forward.
Mbappé’s Golden Boot win is a testament to his remarkable performance last season. Scoring 31 goals earned him 62 points in the European scoring rankings, placing him ahead of Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP, who secured 58.5 points, and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah with 58 points. Notably, this marks the first time Mbappé has clinched this award, following previous winners like Harry Kane and Erling Haaland in recent seasons.
Aiming for Collective Glory
During the award ceremony, Mbappé took a moment to reflect on his journey and express gratitude towards his teammates and coaching staff. “I hope we’re going to win important prizes this year,” he stated, emphasizing the importance of team success over individual accolades. “Winning collective prizes is what matters most.” His ambition is clear: he aims to add more trophies to his cabinet while wearing the iconic white jersey.
Real Madrid has enjoyed a stellar start to the 2025-26 season under Alonso’s guidance, winning 12 of their first 13 matches across all competitions. Currently sitting five points clear at the top of LaLiga after a decisive victory over Barcelona in El Clásico, the team looks poised for further success. “I want to thank the club, the doctors, and everyone who supports me,” Mbappé added, recognizing that individual accomplishments are often built on team efforts.
President’s Praise
Pérez expressed pride in having a player of Mbappé’s caliber within the squad. “I’m very proud that our team can count on a player like you,” he remarked during the ceremony. For Pérez, securing Mbappé’s signature has been a long-term objective, and he believes that Mbappé embodies the core values of Real Madrid.
Looking ahead, fans will be eager to see if Mbappé can maintain his exceptional form as Los Blancos prepare to face Valencia next. With his sights set on more goals and trophies, can he continue this impressive trajectory? The coming months will reveal whether Kylian can add another Golden Boot to his collection while helping Real Madrid secure more silverware.
