The Frenchman returned from injury to score in the Intercontinental Cup win over Pachuca.
Kylian Mbappe's first few months at Real Madrid have not been as bountiful as some had hoped, but the Frenchman has still impressed in the Spanish capital.
The 26-year-old scored goals in the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Intercontinental Cup, helping his team to two silverware early in the season. Mbappé is slowly showing his value to Carlo Ancelotti's team and is proving to be a popular member of the squad.
Ahead of Christmas, Mbappe gifted each of his Real Madrid teammates a limited-edition Loewe portable speaker, part of his 'Sync with Kylian' collection from the German luxury brand. The brand's description claims the speaker is “inspired by the sporting exploits of football star Kylian Mbappé and perfected with the very latest Loewe technology.”
Relevo reports that Mbappe handed out the speakers, which feature his 'KM' logo on the side, to all members of the first team.
Kylian Mbappé's Real Madrid icons
Mbappé's long-standing relationship with Real Madrid is no secret. He was courted by the LaLiga giants as a teenager and was the subject of near-constant transfer speculation until finally opting for a move to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2024.
At a recent event, Mbappe was quizzed by children about his love for the club, revealing which former star he would most like to have played alongside. “Without being biased, I would say Zinedine Zidane,” said Mbappé, choosing his compatriot.
However, Zidane wasn't the only illustrious name mentioned by Mbappe. He then mentioned another, more contemporary icon who he would have liked to play with.
Mbappé explained: “I have played with great players: Messi, Neymar, Griezmann, Pogba, Benzema… It would have been nice to play with Cristiano Ronaldo, but it will be very difficult now. But I was lucky enough to play against him, he is a legend in the sport.”
