Mbappe and the ultimate revenge

Kylian Mbappe is entering the Club World Cup with all the remaining ambition of the season – a major title with Real Madrid and a decisive step forward in the Ballon d'Or race.

Mbappe had a disappointing season with Real Madrid.

No Champions League, no La Liga, no Copa del Rey – Mbappe's first season in Madrid seemed to be passing by quietly. But fate still gave him one last chance. And nothing could be more bitter for PSG than the fact that the very person they lost could win the World Cup before they did.

Mbappe watched the Champions League final in Marrakech. He sent his congratulations to PSG, expressing his joy for his old friends.

But deep in those eyes, there must be a hint of regret – and also a simmering motivation growing stronger. If he can't conquer the European đỉnh cao with PSG, then with Real Madrid, Mbappe could lay his hands on the only prestigious club title he's missing: the World Cup.

The Club World Cup is now his stage – and not just for a trophy. It's a chance to get revenge, an opportunity to prove that Mbappe doesn't need to look back at the past, because his future is brighter than ever.

Notably, Mbappe's role at Real Madrid is gradually becoming clearer. Under Carlo Ancelotti, he was deployed as a central striker and proved absolutely effective. Coach Didier Deschamps continues to place his trust in his pupil in that role for the French national team, although the results in the Nations League were not as expected.

But what remains unchanged is that Mbappe continues to score and assist regularly. And now, it's Xabi Alonso's turn – Real Madrid's new coach – to make a strategic decision about the most anticipated player on the planet.

In his first press conference, Alonso declined to specify exactly where Mbappe would play. But one thing he emphasized was: "With players of that caliber, my job is to maximize their value."

Mbappe and Vinicius – two of the top stars – will be central to the gameplay, and Alonso understands that the key to success lies in connecting these two attacking players within an effective system.

However, Mbappe has been in good form recently for both Real Madrid and the French national team.

Looking back at Mbappe's journey, it's impossible not to mention his brilliant form in the final stages of the season. Since the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, ​​he scored 10 goals in the last 6 La Liga rounds, not to mention 2 goals for the French national team. 12 goals in 8 matches – a performance that no current Ballon d'Or candidate can match. He won both the Golden Boot and the Pichichi award, despite a rather slow start to the season. It's not just statistics – it's a message.

The Club World Cup isn't the most prestigious tournament, but in the context of Real Madrid's less-than-perfect season, it's a lifeline – and an opportunity for Mbappe to assert his individual dominance. A world title, a dominant performance, a spectacular late surge – that's the formula that could propel him ahead in the Ballon d'Or race, especially with his close friend Ousmane Dembele being a formidable rival alongside PSG after their Champions League victory.

Mbappe enters this tournament with the mindset of someone who has nothing to lose, yet possesses everything to win. Not just for fame, but for honor. He doesn't need to say much. Every sprint, every goal scored in the US this time will be a statement: "I'm here to be number one."

For Mbappe, the Club World Cup is more than just a title. It's a stage for him to rewrite a story that could have ended in Paris – but will now end in Madrid, in his own way.
