"Kylian is much more of a finisher than the player he was at Monaco or at the beginning at Paris Saint-Germain. He is up top, he is a centre forward and they ask him to finish the moves. I think he was a little more creative [at Monaco and PSG], he had a slightly more important dimension than today."
"He scores a lot of goals, maybe Real Madrid asks him to score goals, but when he played on the wing he had more scope, more runs and more crosses. I love Kylian Mbappe as a footballer. No problem, he's a remarkable player."
Michel Platini, a three-time Ballon d'Or winner, suggests that Kylian Mbappe possesses untapped creative potential at Real Madrid. While Mbappe has performed impressively as a central forward with 82 goals in 92 games since joining from PSG in summer 2024, Platini argues he was more creative during his time at Monaco and early PSG career. Currently deployed as a pure finisher in a central position, Mbappe previously played on the wing where he had greater scope for runs and crosses. Platini acknowledges Mbappe's exceptional finishing ability and overall quality but believes Real Madrid could extract additional value by incorporating more creative responsibilities into his role.
