Mbappé Sets Clear Target for Real Madrid: ‘Our Goal This Season Is to Win’

Kylian Mbappé has made it clear that Real Madrid’s priority for the new season is simple: winning trophies.

The France captain delivered the message as he returned to Real Madrid preparations ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, declaring that the team’s objective is to win after a disappointing previous season without major silverware.

“Our clear goal this season is to win. We want to win, very clear,” Mbappé said.

The forward’s comments come as Real Madrid begin a new era under José Mourinho, who has returned to the club as head coach in an effort to restore the team’s competitive edge.

Mbappé spoke positively about Mourinho, highlighting the Portuguese coach’s experience and ability to guide teams towards victory. The Frenchman said having a coach who knows how to win can be particularly valuable for the squad.

The arrival of Mourinho has generated considerable attention as Real Madrid seek to reclaim the Spanish league title from Barcelona. The Catalan club has won the previous two LaLiga championships, while Madrid endured a second consecutive season without a major trophy.

Mbappé is expected to be central to Mourinho’s plans. Reports indicate that the manager is considering a system that would place Jude Bellingham in an advanced role behind the French striker, potentially giving Mbappé greater attacking support.

The forward has already demonstrated his individual quality since joining Madrid, but the focus this season is firmly on collective success.

For Mbappé, personal achievements will not be enough. His latest comments underline the expectation at the Santiago Bernabéu: compete for every major trophy and finish the campaign with silverware.

Real Madrid begin their LaLiga campaign on August 22 against Espanyol, giving Mourinho and his players a short window to finalise preparations for their first competitive test.
