Supported by his coach Carlo Ancelotti and still starting, the French striker from Real Madrid scored his tenth goal in the Merengue jersey on Sunday against Getafe in La Liga.
What if the media did too much with Kylian Mbappé's so-called discomfort? We remember Zinédine Zidane's difficult first season when he arrived at Real Madrid, and Karim Benzema's average balance sheet for his first year in Spain. Arriving in the summer of 2009, the future Ballon d'Or had only scored eight goals in La Liga in his first season. Eight goals? This is the total reached by Kylian Mbappé, including three penalties, after thirteen matches in the Spanish championship.
Of course, in the passive column, there is a ghostly performance against Liverpool in the Champions League, a missed penalty against the Reds and above all the visual impression that he is having difficulty finding his place on the pitch alongside the Brazilian striker Vinicius is also absent this Sunday.

A magnificent goal
Against Getafe, Kylian Mbappé in any case scored a magnificent goal, full of composure and skill, a surgical strike on a deep serve from Jude Bellingham which aroused the enthusiasm of the demanding public of Santiago-Bernabeu .

The score 2-0 obtained in the first period, the Merengues calmly managed their lead, without ever forcing. In danger on his sidelines, Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti could breathe a sigh of relief. The crisis will wait. The former Paris Saint-Germain technician supported his player on Wednesday, believing that Real Madrid's problem is above all collective. “Mbappé’s problem is the problem we all have. The idea is to try to give our best version, not only him but me too and the other players,” he explained at a press conference. “Yes, he can play better, but we can all do better and we will try to do so.” The “Mister” doesn’t like mysteries. Thanks to today's success, Real Madrid are only one point behind FC Barcelona in La Liga.
