Kylian Mbappé wants to establish himself as a leader in the Madrid locker room. This requires solid goals and performances, but also a winning attitude. Just after the expected victory in the Intercontinental Cup final against CF Pachuca (3-0), the Frenchman wanted to recall the XXL objectives of the White House.
“Goals help win titles but the most important thing is always the team,” he explained, one of the scorers of the evening, trophy in hand on the club’s social networks. We won a very important title. Out of the seven, we won the first two and we are on the right path”
“We won the European Super Cup on our return from vacation (Editor’s note: in August against Atalanta Bergamo), the others are also very important but we have to take advantage of what we currently have with these two titles,” said he added to the club channel while looking ahead to the next six months. “You have to stay hungry in the same way to get the other five. »
Kylian Mbappé, returning from injury, scored the first goal of the match in the 37th minute of play. He just had to stand in front of the cages as a real center forward to receive the offering from Vinicius Jr, who had just get rid of the Mexican defense with a delicious leg pass.
This goal necessarily takes on a particular resonance. This is his second in two finals with the Merengue. But it is also a revenge in the Lusail stadium (Qatar) where he scored two years ago – already on December 18 – a hat-trick, in vain, in the World Cup final against Argentina.
