Atalanta forward, Ademola Lookman, recently shared his thoughts on Kylian Mbappé ahead of their Champions League clash, offering high praise for the French superstar.

His comments highlight the reverence Mbappé commands across the footballing world, but also reveal a sense of determination from Atalanta.

However, as Real Madrid fans, we see this as yet another testament to why the Frenchman belongs at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Lookman remarked: “He’s one of the best players in the world and has proven it a thousand times. As a forward, you always want to score. That’s all he needs.” These words underline Mbappé’s status as an elite talent, capable of turning games single-handedly. It’s not just respect; it’s a nod to his inevitability—a quality that has made Real Madrid fans dream of seeing him don the iconic white jersey.

Atalanta’s Lookman tried to downplay talks of revenge from their previous encounters, emphasising his team’s focus on the task ahead: “We’re only focused on this game, not the previous one. It’s a new opportunity that Atalanta are eager to seize. Talking about revenge isn’t the best way to approach the situation.” While this may resonate with Atalanta fans, it’s clear that even they cannot ignore Mbappé’s overwhelming presence.

Real Madrid’s relentless pursuit of the French sensation has been the talk of football for years. Lookman’s comments are yet another reminder of what Madridistas already know: Mbappé is destined for greatness, and his true home is with the reigning kings of Europe. His ability to influence games at the highest level, whether with PSG or France, is unparalleled. Imagine what he could achieve with Real Madrid’s pedigree behind him.

This fixture serves as yet another opportunity for Mbappé to showcase the brilliance that makes him a perfect fit for Real Madrid. As Lookman’s words suggest, even rivals are in awe of the superstar, and it’s only a matter of time before he fulfills his destiny in the Spanish capital.
