Mbappé named Mahou Cinco Estrellas Player for September
"We've got a special game on Sunday and we hope it'll be a great day," said the French forward.
Mbappé has been named Mahou Cinco Estrellas Player of the month for September. The forward scooped the award for the second successive month, in recognition of his fine performances for Real Madrid. The Frenchman was in unstoppable form throughout September, hitting 10 goals in six games.
After picking up the prize at Real Madrid City, Mbappé reflected: "It's a pleasure to be voted player of the month again. We've won a lot of games and scored a lot of goals. We're on the right track and we're really pleased with how we're playing, and the results we're getting. We hope we can keep it up."
"This is a big week for us. It was an important match against Juventus, but Sunday's game is special. We hope the fans will get behind us and cheer us on as they always do. They know how important this game is, and we do too - we hope it'll be a great day."
His personal form
"I feel great. I always want to help the team - if that's by scoring goals, then so be it, and if it's in another way, then that's fine too. I'm following the same path as the team. The team always needs every player to help out, and I always try and do that. The team is ready for whatever happens. This is a crucial month for us. It's a big game, but the rest of the month is important too. We're going to do what is demanded of Madrid, which is to win and play well for all the madridistas."
The Clásico
"It's the match everyone wants to see. There's no bigger game than this one on a club level. It can only be compared to a huge Champions League game, but in terms of league matches, there's nothing like Real Madrid-Barcelona. But we don't just want to play it, we want to win it."
