Kylian Mbappe is determined to end his debut season at Real Madrid with a trophy.
Los Blancos have climbed back to first place in the La Liga rankings after a late 2-1 win away to Valencia.
Upcoming fixtures include a Copa del Rey trip to Deportiva Minera and a flight to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup.
Mbappe has settled into his role after an injury-affected start to life in the capital, scoring ten goals in La Liga, and is looking forward to a strong run-in.
“The team and I are at a good time. We started the year well with a difficult match, which we eventually won, and now we are going for different competitions,” he said after being named the club's player of the month for December 2024.
“We hope we continue to win and play well. There are many games, but the message at this club is that we have to win everything.”
Mbappe is expected to be rested for the Copa match, ahead of a trip to Jeddah where he will play the Sup Cup semi-final against Mallorca on January 9.
Real Madrid also have two UEFA Champions League games to round out January, against RB Salzburg and Stade Brest, with the defending champions currently four points off the qualifying places for the automatic knockout stages.
