PSG star Kylian Mbappe details his Ballon d'Or and Champions League ambitions

At just 21 years old, Kylian Mbappe has enjoyed a glittering career - and the next trophy on his wishlist is the Champions League.

He has twice been named French Player of the Year, won the Best Young Player award at World Cup 2018, won the league with Monaco as an 18-year-old and has scored 90 goals across three seasons at Paris Saint-Germain.

Each one of those campaigns has ended with a title and now Mbappe is desperate for that home dominance to spread into Europe.

Speaking to Mirror Sport in an exclusive interview, he revealed. "To keep on being successful with the national team – next season we have the European Championship and that will be our ambition to be victorious there.

"It is a big ambition of mine to win the European Cup and to be a part of PSG winning their first European Cup would be very special."

The Frenchman also revealed that his idols growing up were Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Zidane won a Ballon D’Or in 1998, Ronaldo has won five.

Mbappe was ranked seventh in 2017, fourth in the 2018 voting, sixth in last year’s poll and would seem to be a surefire future winner.

“It would be nice to win – but it is not something that keeps me awake at night,” he says. “I don’t think I have to win it next season or the season after – there is no time limit I have put on it.

“Always I will put PSG and the national team as my priority. Then, if personal honours come from my performances then it is a bonus.”
