“Kylian never lied, he always told the president that he would one day go to Real Madrid”
“I never cried because of Kilian”speaks Faiza LamariMbappe’s mother, however, was excited about her son’s presentation at Real Madrid. “Tears started flowing in the morning, I don’t know why, maybe I was tired…”– he assures in an interview with the publication Le Parisian.
I was 5 years old and I thought I was going crazy
Now Kilian is already dressed in white and his dream has come true. He had long been looking forward to the moment he experienced at the Bernabeu on Tuesday. Faiza Lamari remembers the first time Mbappe told her about playing for Real Madrid. “I was 5 years old, I thought he was crazy (laughs). “All his idols were there, and he wanted to imitate them.”He stated this in a French newspaper.
What happened in Paris is comparable to a divorce
Faiza Lamari, the collapse of the iron lady
It was now, but it could have been earlier. Two years ago, Kylian was close to joining Real Madrid, but stayed at PSG. Does he regret? “No, you shouldn’t regret anything. When you were born in Paris and grew up in Bondy, playing at the Parc des Princes is a real event. Kylian never lied. He always told the president that he would one day go to Real Madrid. But if it weren’t for Madrid, I would never have left Paris. “It was very, very difficult for Kilian, that’s clear,” he explains.
Kylian never lied. He always told the president that he would one day join Real Madrid.
Another dimension
Mbappe has already taken that step. He is at Real Madrid, a team that has surprised Faiza from day one: “It’s the biggest club in the world. On Tuesday, I felt the difference, for example, with PSG.” The Parque de los Príncipes is extraordinary (…), but when you arrive at Real Madrid you feel the weight of this institution. “This is a club with a huge history.”
“Real Madrid is the biggest club in the world. On Tuesday I felt the difference with PSG, for example.
Moreover, Faiza knows how her son must behave at Real. “If you come to a club like this without humility, it won’t work,” he says. Le Parisian and continues: “Kilian’s career wouldn’t have been what it was if he hadn’t had humility. “He has the ability to constantly question himself.”
If you come to such a club without humility, nothing will come of it.
Leaving PSG
Kylian’s mother also spoke about Kylian’s departure from the French club to PSG. “What happened in Paris can be compared to a divorce. When it breaks down, at that moment you only think about the negative. But there were also many positive aspects. Today Kylian is in Madrid and we can thank not only Monaco but also PSG. “It was PSG who trusted him when he was 18 and invested so much money in him. I think he has repaid that in spades,” he explains.

Regarding the situation with the unpaid bonuses and salaries that the French club owes Kylian, he commented: “It’s in the hands of Kylian’s representatives now. But I believe that PSG will quickly solve this problem. We have just received a letter from you. Decisions will be made. (…) I hope all this doesn’t tarnish everything we’ve been through. “I want to remember the positive things about PSG.”
For two years, Kylian and the PSG president always met alone.
“Does this mean this could all end up in court?”they ask him Le Parisian“If we have no choice, then yes, of course. I really hope that the contract we signed two years ago will be respected. “In fact, no one can say what happened, neither me nor the PSG representatives, because for two years Kylian and the president always met alone, except for one time,” the mother replies.
All our friends, all the people who knew him when he was little, were saying to each other, ‘Wow, he did it, he’s here.’
Everything that has already passed, the present shines with whiteness. “All our friends, all the people who knew him when he was little, they were like, ‘Wow, he did it, he’s here,'” Faiza says. And he’s right. Mbappe has achieved it: he is going to play for Real Madrid.
