The forward revealed that leaving his homeland has surprisingly given him a more normal and peaceful daily routine, despite a challenging period on the pitch.
Mbappe has experienced mixed fortunes in Spain, winning the European Golden Shoe in his first season and finishing as La Liga’s top scorer twice, but without major trophies.
However, he says life as a Real Madrid “Galactico” has eased the intense spotlight and reduced the constant security presence he once faced in France.
"I’m prepared to be famous; I have to deal with that." Mbappe told Le Parisien.
"I’m very happy in Madrid; I can live more freely than in France. I can go out on the street without security.
“I can live my life and make plans that I didn’t make before. It’s good. I do very normal things, more than people think.”
