Kylian Mbappé made news by labeling Real Madrid as his Champions League favorite. Since joining Real Madrid in 2024, he has become the club’s top star and scorer. This season, he has scored important goals in La Liga and the Champions League, as the team stands top of the table with three wins from three matches.

His comments come as Real Madrid prepares for another tough European campaign. They were eliminated in the quarterfinals last season by Arsenal, ending their title defense hopes.

REAL MADRID: CHASING EUROPEAN SUCCESS

Real Madrid were knocked out in the Champions League quarterfinals by Arsenal last season. With Xabi Alonso as coach and new signings, they aim to reclaim dominance in Europe. On September 16, they face Olympique Marseille in the 2025/26 league phase opener.

The team features both new talents and stars like Vinícius Júnior and Thibaut Courtois. However, Mbappé is expected to lead the charge. In La Liga, Real Madrid is currently leading by goal difference over Athletic Club and two points ahead of Barcelona and Villarreal after winning all three of their last encounters, making each match vital.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR MBAPPÉ AND REAL MADRID?

Next is a La Liga match at Real Sociedad before facing a Champions League match against Marseille. Real Madrid aims to maintain momentum following a solid league phase start. Domestically, they are level with Barcelona, trailing by just a point, making each match essential.

For Mbappé, expectations are high as he looks to add to his goal tally and help erase last season’s European disappointment. Fans will witness as Madrid strives to fulfill the star striker’s prediction and revive their winning ways on the big stage.
