Kylian Mbappé, while speaking to the media on Friday 15th May 2025/26, maintained that he has a good relationship with Xabi Alonso, describing him as a great manager and stating that everyone knows what he thinks about him.

Reacting to his recent Italian trip, which drew criticism from some Real Madrid fans, the forward admitted that his only mistake was not being able to help his team win titles this season, like many of his teammates at Real Madrid.
Softfootball gathered that the Madrid talisman assured fans he has no plans to leave Real Madrid, reinforcing his commitment to the club.
