Kylian Mbappe Reacts After Winning Sponsor’s Real Madrid Player of the Month Award
Kylian Mbappe has won the Mahou Cinco Estrellas Player of the Month award for December. The Frenchman enjoyed a fruitful month to end 2024.

Mbappe has now opened up on receiving the award. He thanked the fans for their support and reflected on the month of December, saying (via Real Madrid):
I'd like to thank the fans for voting for me, it's important. December was a great month for me and for the team because we won a trophy, many games in the league and an important Champions League match. Now we have to tackle the Copa del Rey and then the Spanish Super Cup.

There are a lot of games but, as they say here, we have to win everything and we're going to compete.
