Mbappé on Racism: New Statement & Call to Action

No shattering announcement, amazing statements, but still some interesting reflections. This Sunday, Kylian Mbappé was the guest of “20 20 20”, the interview with Anne-Sophie Lapix on M 6. From 8:13 p.m., the French team striker spoke on several subjects, including his transfer to Real Madrid, the coronation of PSG in the Champions League, the Cadence of the Match or the Racism that certain players in Spain are undergoing.

On August 25, the Bondynois was itself the target of monkey cries during a trip to Oviedo. “I did not necessarily hear, I saw it the week after when it was released in the media,” he said. It is something distressing, we should not stop talking about it as long as things do not change and the instances do not take the measures that need. We shouldn’t even talk about it in 2025 but we will always have the energy to fight this kind of behavior. »»

On the hellish cadence of matches, Kylian Mbappé confirmed that he understood the will of the authorities to accumulate deadlines. “What we can fight us are the rest slices is difficult to cut,” he said. We just want to have more time to breathe to have a better quality of matches. If it continues, I think we are going to have a little dull games like it happens in other sports and that’s not what we want. »»

“I think PSG will go into another sphere”

Inevitably, the former PSG striker, where he spent seven seasons, was also launched on the European coronation of his former club. And he reaffirmed his joy to see his former happy partners. “I know how special it was for supporters to win this trophy,” smiled the Ile -de -France. It was the logical continuation. We were close in the years before and they managed to do what we failed to do: the last step. I think the club will go through another sphere and I wish them. »»

With his tracksuit of the French team, Kylian Mbappé could not escape a small question on the next World Cup and on his new role as captain of the Blues. “It will be a different way of living a World Cup. The first two that I played were not already alike at all, as a man and a player we change in four years. And there I will be captain, it is a great honor. I can’t wait. »»
