Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe confirmed that he aspires to achieve all titles with the royal jersey, after the (3-1) victory against Stuttgart of Germany yesterday evening, Tuesday, in the first round of the Champions League, at the Merengue’s stronghold, “Santiago Bernabeu” stadium.

Mbappe said in statements reported by the Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”: “It was a great night as we wanted to start with a win, and it was a difficult match.”

He added: “It is important to win the first matches, the Champions League system has changed, and you must win quickly.”

He added: “The match was difficult because they play well, and we had problems playing and getting the ball out from the back in the first half.”

He continued: “In the second half, we had chances to score, we pressed well, played better and scored.”

Regarding his first goal with Real Madrid in the Champions League, he revealed: “I can do more. I feel better with every game and I know I will score more.”
