Real Madrid defeated Stuttgart 3-1 in the first round of the UEFA Champions League, with Kylian Mbappé scoring his debut goal for Los Blancos in the competition.

The star French forward said after the match that the goal and the victory were very important, but he plans to score more in the future.

Quote: "It was a great night. We wanted to start with a win, and it was a tough match. It's important to win the first games; the Champions League has changed, and you need to win right away. They played well, and we had issues with our play and moving the ball out of defense in the first half. In the second half, we had chances to score, we pressed, played well, and got the goals.

I can score more. With each game, I feel better, and I know I’ll score more. It's wrong to say I came here just to win the Champions League. We’re trying to win every game. We did that against Stuttgart, and we'll see how things go from here," Mbappé told Movistar Liga de Campeones in an interview.

Reminder: Thanks to his goal against Stuttgart, Mbappé surpassed Zlatan Ibrahimović in the all-time Champions League goalscorer rankings. Mbappé now has 49 goals, while the Swedish star has 48.
