Mbappe's mother hits out at PSG: "On Tuesday I felt the difference"

Mbappe could join Real Madrid in 2022 and 2021, as he himself acknowledged during his first press conference as a Real Madrid player. Enthusiastic about this new stage and about being able to fulfil his dream, the Frenchman made the decision to leave Paris Saint-Germain, the club with which he made a leap in his career, but with which he has also had his ups and downs over the last few years. It seemed that the possibility of wearing the white shirt was complicated, but this summer it has become a reality.

A day after that first great moment as a Madrid player, his mother and agent, Fayza Lamari, spoke to ‘Le Parisien’ to review how the player has lived those first special hours, but also comments on how the family lived that abrupt departure from the Parc des Princes in another tense episode with the management of the French team.

His tense departure from Paris left the image of a Kylian who was less joyful than he was a few seasons ago: "It's because we have a short memory and we are left with the last impressions. At Monaco, or when he started at PSG, you could see those emotions. It's true that the last few times he wasn't the most smiling. Here he was happy, excited, like someone going back to childhood. But we also saw that before at PSG, Monaco or the French national team".

"What happened in Paris can be compared to a separation. When it happens, you only think about the negative. We have to give him time so that, soon, Kylian will only remember positive things from this last year in Paris. And there were. Now, he is at Madrid and we can thank Monaco and also PSG. They trusted him when he was 18 and invested a lot of money in him. I think he has more than paid it back," added the player's mother.

The pressure of Madrid's success doesn't stifle him: "Real Madrid will also win after him, that's why they are the biggest club in the world. On Tuesday I felt the difference, for example, with PSG. The Parc des Princes is extraordinary, you have to experience it and understand it. When you do it, you see the fans singing from the first minute to the last, it's incredible. But when you come here, to Madrid, you feel the weight of the institution. It's the club that has won the most, with a huge history. When I say he's coming out of his comfort zone, I mean that he won't be able to surpass last year, when Madrid won everything. But we will ask him to do what he knows how to do: play football".
