Now back with the France squad this week, Mbappe admits he's enjoying his time with Real Madrid.
He said ahead of their World Cup qualifier against Ukraine: "I'm very happy to be able to start a new season.
"I've come here with a lot of enthusiasm. It's a great year for my club, my national team, and for me. There's everything necessary to do great things, and that starts tomorrow. I try not to think too much about the end of the season."
Mbappe also discussed the football calendar.
He said, "Last season I had gastroenteritis, that kind of virus. Last season was a total bewilderment. Did we play too much? I don't necessarily believe that anymore. The debate is like that.
"We can give explanations, but the answer is always that we earn a lot of money, 'play,' and that's why we play. It's going to continue like that. I understand people on their sofas who want to watch a lot of games.
"We just need a bit more rest to be able to come back. It's not a question of games, but more of recovery. I saw teams returning to training when we were still in the Club World Cup..."
