Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé spoke on the eve of their Champions League clash with Inter, which will take place tomorrow at the Santiago Bernabéu. During an interview with Sky Sport, he was reminded that he supported Milan as a child, and the Frenchman responded: "I definitely prefer Milan… But Inter are an opponent who deserve a great deal of respect. They are a quality team. When I saw the draw, my mind immediately went to Thuram because we are very good friends. But they also have Lautaro, who is a striker capable of making the difference."
"Of course, I hope he doesn’t do that in this case. Mourinho? He is a great motivator, and he is passing on to the group the experience he has gained over so many years in the game. It is a pleasure and a privilege to be coached by him. We are all united, but we were also united last year. Unfortunately, the results do not always follow. Look at my France: we wanted to win the World Cup, but we didn’t even manage to reach the final…
The Ballon d’Or is a prestigious award that every footballer wants to win. I am often asked whether it will be my turn this time, even when I am walking around the streets of Madrid. And there are people who think I am the best player in the world… I believe this is a good year to win it, but I don’t know whether the voting will ultimately go my way."
