‘Impossible Expectations’: Mbappé on the Pressure of Delivering Miracles for France and Real Madrid
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair France, Kylian Mbappé opened up about the weight of playing at the highest level. He said fans now expect “miracles” from him whenever he steps onto the pitch. “There is nothing more beautiful than representing your country,” he explained. “But it’s hard in our position. Everyone expects miracles from us. Miracles happen on the pitch, not before the game.” Off the field, Mbappé’s influence is massive. He signed his first Nike deal at eight and now earns over €25 million a year from endorsements. His move to Real Madrid also came with a huge signing bonus and lucrative wages. He has faced criticism too. Yacht photos with actress Ester Expósito sparked a fan petition in Spain demanding his exit. Mbappé admitted that fame can be overwhelming but said he now focuses on the love and support he receives from millions around the world.
