In football, everything is possible, from the moment you work and you believe in your qualities.
Kylian Mbappe
We must always set the bar high, otherwise we do not progress.
I am happy, and I am living the life I always dreamed of.
You should always focus on training and consider it a step forward. And each step is taking you higher and higher until you reach the top, which is where you should stay.
People come to the stadium to forget their lives for 90 minutes, and it's up to us to give them satisfaction; to get them out of their chairs and to fall asleep with stars in their eyes.
There is no bad time to laugh. I always joke, even five minutes before a game. It's not bad to stay a little immature.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar are phenomenal.
I have so much love for football, that I think is the reason why I seek refuge in training - I'm always guided by that desire to conquer, to win.
We must stop feeling fear.
I would not say that what I do is extraordinary. I would just say that I am able to do what I know best. I would not say it's extraordinary.
I always assume that one day someone will come and try to do better so you always have to go beyond your limits.
I try to work to improve myself every day and I try to do on the pitch what I do during the training sessions.
I'm not going to revolutionise football. I'm in a system. You have to know how to respect it and to stay in place.
I have learned that the biggest stars and the greatest players are the most humble ones, the ones who respect people the most.
It's one of the disadvantages of succeeding early. I missed simple things like having a driver's license. I think everyone has one. For so many people, a license is an obligation, but it wasn't for me. Licenses are often synonymous with autonomy, but I had my autonomy so early that I've had drivers at my disposal. It was never a priority.
Even if I am French, I have African roots. Helping African sport to develop is something that is very important to me. If I can use my reputation or other means to help, then I will.
The greatest are an inspiration for all the kids who wake up early in the morning. Everyone watches you, is inspired by you and wants to be you. So you influence society. That's what being more than an athlete means. I want more kids to have that opportunity. I want everybody to start with the same chance.
Like the greats, you want to make your own story yourself, and not be a copy of another.
It will not matter, the pressure I always had it, I was mediated early, I learned to handle it, I got used to it and it's part of my environment.
I did not have the moments of so-called normal people during adolescence, like going out with friends, enjoying good times.
Playing with Neymar is something extraordinary.
Football is a sport that you play with a team and I think if you want to win the Ballon d'Or, you have to win the Champions League.
Helping people, moreover those coming from where you grew up, this is the most important. Not everyone can succeed, but at least you can to act for them.
It's really incredible to be compared to a player like 'King Pele' who is the King of Football. But what I must think about is working hard and following my own pathway and not thinking about people who compare you to other players.
You can't sit around and do nothing, you have to carry on.
Football goes fast but it can go quickly in both directions.
I don't want to be a copy of anyone else.
I have always considered myself as a privileged person from a kind of elite among the lucky ones. So I think we should help all those who have not had the luck I have had, to use my fame to help.
I'm very happy with how things are going for me at Paris Saint-Germain.
For me, football is more than a sport, just look at the impact it has on society.
When you end the European Championship the best goal-scorer in your own country, you show the world that you have the shoulders to handle the pressure.
Zidane the player made me dream and still makes me dream when I watch videos of him. The coach is completely different, he is a great coach who has quickly achieved results and continues to develop.
I get up in the morning and I go to practice like everyone else.
Number 7 is a legendary number, many great players who have worn it. I hope I could do credit in the field with this number.
So, individually, my goal is to score a lot of goals and help Neymar. He can help us raise a lot of trophies, so we have to take care of him.
Real Madrid is a club where you have to go when you are mature and at the top of your game.
French football must go as far as possible in the Champions League.
For me, the Parc des Princes is special, somewhere I'd go to spend my pocket money.
Now in the U.S.A., a lot of great players come after their careers in Europe, like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Andrea Pirlo, great players.
I do not chase after the records.
When you are young, you admire the people you see on TV and you want to have the same gestures and the same attitudes and behave in the same way. It is a responsibility.
I work hard every day to try to help my team. I try to have fun too - because football is still fun - and scoring goals, breaking records, that's what drives me.
PSG is an ambitious club that wants to be the best in the world. So you have to win all the competitions and leave no room for doubt.
The Champions League is very difficult and you need to keep your concentration at all times.
The personal stats are good, but the collective is better.
People on the outside see a Neymar on the pitch, but that's not him. People see him doing tricks and dribbles and think that he is only trying to enjoy himself, that he's selfish and only thinks about himself. But when you share a dressing room with him you realise that it's not the case.
Neymar is a superstar, much more of star than me.
We have given ourselves the means of our ambitions, and in football, when we give ourselves the means, it is always less difficult.
I was a dreamer when I was younger.
Edinson is the perfect team-mate for players like myself and Neymar. He is always available, he's very mobile, and he has an amazing shot on him. He's a natural goal-scorer, a true professional and a very good person as well. He's one of the best strikers in the world.
