Kylian Mbappe Speaks About Pressure Of Playing For Real Madrid
Kylian Mbappe joined Real Madrid from PSG on a free transfer during the summer transfer window. and the Frenchman had a slow start to life in the Spanish capital.

The Frenchman has now opened up on the pressure of playing for Real Madrid.
Speaking on the Amazon Prime Video documentary "Real Madrid How Could I Not Love You," Mbappe said:
Real Madrid, how can I not love you. It’s easy to say that you have the dream of playing for Real Madrid, but in the end there are players who don’t enjoy the pressure. I enjoy the whole game, I feel the pressure and I like that because I need it to do well, play well, make a sacrifice for the team. For me, in training, every day. I have to feel this pressure, this love too because all the affection that Real Madrid has given me from day one, and before, was incredible. But I also need this pressure to play, enjoy my game and help the team as much as I can, with my quality.
