Real Madrid ace Kylian Mbappe reflected on his first season at the Bernabeu after being voted his club's best player in 2024/2025. Furthermore, he revealed that he and his teammates are looking forward to playing the Club World Cup in the United States this summer. Mbappe has just concluded his first season in Los Blancos colors after completing a high profile free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain last summer. Initially encountering teething problems in his first few months, not helped by having to adapt to a new position, he went on to become Europe and Spain's top goalscorer in 2024/2025 while one of few highlights in a campaign for Madrid that lacked major silverware. To add to his Pichichi and Golden Boot gongs, Mbappe has also been handed the Mahou Five Star Player Award as his team's leading star this season which prompted him to review the term. 'This was my first season in Spain, a new experience for me as a player and as a man, so I'm very happy to be here at Real Madrid,' Mbappe remarked. 'I had to adapt to the team, and adapt to the country with a new language, a new culture. Now I think about it I feel very good at the club, in the team, in the city, in the country, and you can see that on the pitch,' he added. While as said Madrid might not have landed major silverware under the since departed Carlo Ancelotti, it lifted the UEFA Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup with the Club World Cup next month providing the chance to seal a treble of sorts. 'It's the first time we're going to play in a competition like this. It's something new for us, but we're also looking forward to it because it's a new opportunity to be world champions with the club,' Mbappe said about the newly-reimagined 32 team affair which will take place on American soil. 'It's a great competition, in the United States, with everyone watching and looking forward to it. As I say, it's something new for us so we're going to try to win it,' the Frenchman then promised. Ahead of a new La Liga campaign and attempt to dethrone FC Barcelona, new Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso can test the waters at the Club World Cup. In the US, Luka Modric will play his last minutes in his iconic Los Blancos shirt ahead of moving on.

Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski responds to missing out on Pichichi to Kylian Mbappé
Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski responds to missing out on Pichichi to Kylian Mbappé Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski has on Sunday spoken out on his pursuit of top-scorer honours in La Liga coming up short. Frontman Lewandowski, for his part, is fresh off his latest goalscoring outing this evening. Advertisement After Barcelona made the trip to the Basque Country for a La Liga meeting with Athletic Club, the Pole notched both of his side's goals en route to a 2-0 triumph. This, however, did not prove enough to get the Pole even within touching distance of Pichichi winner Kylian Mbappé. After finding the net to the tune of a brace of his own against Real Sociedad on Saturday, Real Madrid's star summer addition took his tally for the campaign in Spain's top-flight to 31 goals. Lewandowski, on the other hand, finished the campaign with 27 to his name. After the latter led the race for the Pichichi throughout much of the term, he was in turn drawn on the situation post-match at San Mamés tonight. And Lewandowski went on to admit: 'I feel a little sad that I couldn't win the Pichichi award. I struggled a bit to return to my best shape after my injury, but that's normal.' Conor Laird – GSFN

Mbappe adds a little lustre to Real season with Golden Shoe
Real Madrid may have won no trophies, but their French Galactico Kylian Mbappe ended his first season in Spain by collecting two individual scoring awards: the European Golden Shoe and the award for top scorer in La Liga. Mbappe scored twice in Real Madrid's final league game on Saturday to overtake Viktor Gyokeres, whose league season at Sporting Lisbon ended the previous week, at the top of the weighted table which counts only league goals. Mbappe ended with 31 league goals as he became the third Real Madrid player to win the award, after Mexicans Hugo Sanchez (1989-1990) and Cristiano Ronaldo (2010-2011, 2013-2014, 2014-2015). The last Frenchman to collect the Golden Shoe was Thierry Henry, who won it in 2004 and 2005 with Arsenal. Mbappe could have been caught on Sunday, while he was in Monaco watching the Formula One Grand Prix. Mohammed Salah, who needed a hat-trick in English champions Liverpool's last league game, scored once to finish third with 29 goals. Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski, already certain to finish ahead of Real Madrid in the race for the Spanish league title, scored twice at Bilbao. He totalled 27 goals, for fourth place in Europe and second in the Pichichi, the award for the top scorer in La Liga. The Pole won the Golden Shoe twice with Bayern and claimed the Pichichi in 2023. Last year's Golden Shoe winner, Harry Kane, finished fifth with 26 Bundesliga goals to go with his league champion's medal at Bayern Munich. Mateo Retegui, with 25 for Atalanta, was the top Serie A player, in sixth place. Gyokeres out-scored Mbappe with 39 goals, but the table is weighted. Each goal in the 'big five' European competitions -- La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Serie A -- is doubled. For the next 16 ranked leagues, goals are multiplied by 1.5. Below that a goal is just a goal. Estonian Alex Tamm totalled 34 league goals, spread over two seasons but finished only 27th. He hit 28 for Kalju in his native Estonia, which plays a summer season, and six more after moving to Olimpija Ljubljana in Slovenia in Februray.
