Author of a double on Thursday against Ukraine, Kylian Mbappé reached the mark of 400 career goals and is thinking big, very big for the future.
Kylian Mbappé spent a mixed evening on the lawn of the Parc des Princes on Thursday. His first period against Ukraine was transparent. Yet to his advantage since the start of the season, the Madrid striker has not touched a single ball in the opposing area and has lost six of his seven attempted duels.
However, it was he who broke the deadlock shortly before the hour mark. Taking advantage of a penalty obtained by Michael Olise, the Bondynois opened the scoring with a Panenka and took even better care of his statistics at the end of the match, first of all by scoring a second goal (83e) then delivering a decisive pass for Hugo Ekitike (88e).
And in addition to getting a little closer to Olivier Giroud with now 55 goals in 94 selections compared to 57 for the former Gunner, Kylian Mbappé also took advantage of the evening to pass a symbolic milestone, that of 400 career goals. In addition to his 55 goals for the French team, the former Parisian has 27 with AS Monaco, 256 with PSG and 62 with Real Madrid.
Kylian Mbappé wants to try the unreal
But Kylian Mbappé sees much bigger than his 400 goals.
“400 doesn’t impress people. If you want to stay in History and in this circle that shocks people, you’ll have to add at least 400, he said at the microphone of TF1. I still have a long way to go. But I’m very happy. It is a symbolic passage. I already want to start putting 400 (more). » And even more.
At the mention of the 1000 career goals mark, behind which Cristiano Ronaldo is running, Kylian Mbappé got excited.
“It’s unreal. We never thought this could be achieved. He (Ronaldo) is showing us that it is possible. Let’s try the unreal, he asserted. You have to try it, you only have one career. It goes quickly. I try to take advantage of every moment and every match to leave a mark. »
