We won't call it a remission yet, possibly a slight start. Deep in the hole after his horrible match against Liverpool (2-0 defeat) last week in the Champions League, during which he saw his penalty stopped by Kelleher, Kylian Mbappé was eagerly awaited on Sunday by the 80,000 supporters of the Santiago-Bernabeu during the reception of Getafe by Real Madrid.
And if his first balls, made of failed controls and dribbles as predictable as the next government censorship, made us fear a new fiasco, the former Parisian finally quickly recovered. After Jude Bellingham opened the scoring on peno, the “Kyks” quickly doubled the lead with a superb curling shot from the right into the side net.
Enough to offer him a breath of fresh air, he who continues to be ridiculed on social networks, never satisfied with filth of all kinds. But this goal, the Frenchman's 8th of the season in La Liga, was not enough to get the entire Iberian sports press on his side, with the latter accusing him of having missed other clear chances. We think in particular of this cross shot in the second half, when Mbappé seemed to have done the hard part by getting rid of the opposing goalkeeper.
The Madrid press is divided

On the other hand, we are less severe on the side of ASwho notes that “the patient’s condition has improved significantly” in recent hours. “He has found his spark again,” we assure you this Monday morning. Mbappé improved in almost every area against Getafe: he was the most involved attacker, attempted eight dribbles, shot five times, scored a superb goal… but his shooting remains his weak point. »

Note the benevolent attitude of the Madrid public, who continued to encourage the 2018 world champion after each failed gesture and to get excited after each successful gesture. A poor backheel from Mbappé being followed by a hubbub of excitement as if he had never seen the slightest technical gesture in his life.

Mark thus evokes “an unrecognizable Bernabéu [pour le mieux]with an infinite patience that he did not have before with any of the stars. “All he has to do now is keep his head down and keep working until he stops thinking about what he has to do every time he touches the ball,” concludes Mark. And let him go like he always did. »
