Kylian Mbappé is on the ski lift and this is confirmed match after match. This Wednesday evening, against Salzburg (5-1), the Madrid striker scored his third goal in the Champions League, his nineteenth achievement since the opening of the season. Better: since January 12, and this defeat against Barça in the final of the Spanish Super Cup (2-5), the former Parisian has already found the net five times.
In addition to this efficiency, it is the confidence that he exudes, once again, on the pitch that is evident. His goal, scored in the 48th minute, is the perfect illustration of this. On a deep pass, not necessarily given well by Rodrygo, the French international believed in his chances and continued the action until the end. Under pressure, Janis Blaswich, the Salzburg goalkeeper, had the ball stolen from his feet and saw the ex-Monegasque finish calmly with his left foot.
