France forward Kylian Mbappe says things and people made him unhappy in his final year at Paris St-Germain.
Mbappe will join Real Madrid on a five-year deal when his Paris St-Germain contract expires at the end of this month.
PSG's all-time leading goalscorer refused to sign a one year extension to his contract last August leading to a stand-off which saw him train away from the first-team.
He says at PSG, he wasn't unhappy, that would be biting the hand that feeds him, and spitting in the face of all the people who defended him, but things and people made him unhappy.
Mbappe says however, there are things that he cannot show because he was a leader and people don't follow someone who drags their sadness around.
Mbappe says PSG’s boss Luis Enrique and adviser Luis Campos saved him.
He says without them he would never have set foot on the field again.
Mbappe helped PSG win six Ligue 1 titles but he is looking forward to a fresh start at newly-crowned Champions League winners Real Madrid.
He says it's a huge pleasure and a dream come true.
Mbappe adds it's the club where he always dreamed of being and he is going there with a lot of excitement and a lot of humility.
