Can Mbappe Create His Own Real Legacy?

This is not merely a trophy but an assertion made on behalf of Kylian Mbappe and his first Golden Boot at Real Madrid. The 25-year-old forward is in an extremely exclusive club of Real Madrid players who have already earned this most coveted European title, alongside Hugo Sanchez and Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, the most incredible thing about the success of Mbappe is that he does not take his own head after being compared with one of the greatest players of the white shirt.

Mbappe answered his interview with Marca and the answer resonated with both fans and critics. He never took the comparisons about to happen, but graciously separated himself from the competition’s history. My way is not his way; I can never compare myself to what he did or said. Such recognition is an adult concept of legacy- something gained over a long time, not proclaimed in headlines.

The first season of Mbappe at Real Madrid was filled with his lightning speed and his ability to finish and his flexibility in a team full of talent. He contributed decisive goals, took the club in pressure and demonstrated leadership beyond his age.

Whereas the numbers marked the legacy of Ronaldo at Madrid, the legacy of Mbappe could be marked by development and stability. As football enters a new phase, Mbappe appears to be the man to spearhead it, not through copying, but by creating. Real Madrid has been moving towards the next great chapter, perhaps, should his first season with the club be any indicator.
