In 2025, Kylian Mbappé is preparing to take on new challenges, between his ambitions at Real Madrid, his return to the French team and an ultimate goal: winning the Ballon d’Or.
Kylian Mbappé has made certain resolutions! After a complicated adaptation to his arrival at Real Madrid this summer, the French player now seems well settled in Madrid and has regained his momentum. His recent performances with the Whites, coupled with an encouraging return from injury, have revived hope in Spain for the striker, once criticized for his chaotic spell at PSG.
But 2025 promises to be a decisive year for Mbappé, who, according to the daily The Teamwould have set three clear objectives to restore its image and reach new heights.
From his first steps in the Real Madrid jersey, Kylian Mbappé had to face excessive pressure. The Madrid club demands perfection, and although their start to the season was complicated, Ancelotti quickly knew how to support them and offer them a reassuring framework. The striker responded, especially after his injury, with a decisive performance against Atalanta in the Champions League. His duo with Vinicius Jr., in full bloom, now carries the hopes of the club. Ancelotti places great confidence in Mbappé, convinced that he can establish himself as a leader at Real Madrid.
The 2025 Golden Ball, Kylian Mbappé’s obsession
But Mbappé’s ambition does not stop there. Since his debut at Monaco, Kylian Mbappé has always been extremely ambitious, and individual awards have always been an obsession. This is why he is aiming for the 2025 Ballon d’Or. According to The Teamafter believing that he deserved that of 2018 and that that of 2023 escaped him due to a defeat in a penalty shootout during the World Cup, Mbappé has his eyes fixed on this prestigious trophy.
With less competition this season, Mbappé could finally get what he never had. If he manages to combine performances with Real and exploits with the French team, he could well be among the finalists for the Ballon d’Or.
-Nations League 2025: A turning point for Kylian Mbappé in the French team
Speaking of the French team, after some tensions with Didier Deschamps, Mbappé must reconcile with the Blues. The year 2025 will mark a turning point in his relationship with the selection, notably during the quarter-finals of the Nations League against Croatia, where he will be able to discuss with the coach and clarify his position, reveals the daily L’Équipe. In 2025, the captaincy and its role in the French team will once again be at the center of concerns. If Mbappé keeps the armband, he will have to wear it with pride and serenity, knowing that his status within the group is now more than ever called into question.
However, if discussions remain to be held with Deschamps, the striker has never lost his ambition for the Blues. After the 2018 and 2022 World Cups where he shone brightly, Mbappé knows that new titles are within reach. The 2025 Nations League could be an opportunity to restore momentum to his selection career.
The year 2025 promises to be crucial for Kylian Mbappé, who will have to juggle between the pressure of Real Madrid, his personal ambitions and his objectives with the France team. More than ever, he seems ready to take on these challenges and leave his mark on the year, both for club and national team.
