Kylian Mbappé blamed his early season struggles at Real Madrid on being "too hungry" and "impatient" on Sunday, in his first sit-down interview since joining the club.

Mbappé has scored 11 goals in 21 appearances for Madrid in all competitions so far, including one in their 3-0 LaLiga win at Girona on Saturday, but has faced criticism for his all-round performances as Madrid have suffered some high-profile defeats.

In an hour-long interview for Canal+ program Clique -- recorded earlier this week at his home in Madrid -- Mbappé discussed his time at his new team so far, as well as his absence from the last two France national team squads, and his departure from Paris Saint-Germain.
