Mbappe is still waiting on the first دوري أبطال أوروبا triumph of his distinguished career, with the decision taken to swap باريس سان جيرمان ل ريال مدريد a year before ambitious الدوري الفرنسي 1 giants finally got their hands on the most prestigious of prizes.
Los Blancos are determined to conquer the continent again this term, with Mbappe very much leading from the front. He has netted four goals through as many games at the start of the new season.
He is now preparing to face مرسيليا, who are experiencing the league phase of elite European competition for the first time. Mbappe boasts an impressive record against the men from Stade Velodrome – registering 10 goals and three assists against them through 15 appearances for موناكو and PSG.
Mbappe told Telefoot of facing familiar rivals: “I score a lot of goals against Marseille. They’ve changed a lot with a new project. Medhi (Benatia, director of football) is a friend. We’ll see.
“It’s cool to meet French teams again. Plus, we’re playing at home, at the Bernabeu. It’s لطيف - جيد, it’s been a long time since they played in the Champions League. It’s going to be nice to play against them, it’s going to bring back good memories.”
Mbappe was on target for Madrid in their latest fixture, as Xabi Alonso’s side battled their way to a 2-1 victory over ريال سوسيداد with 10 men. After facing Marseille in midweek, they will remain on home soil for a Liga clash with إسبانيول نهاية الأسبوع القادم.
