“I feel better with every match.” Kylian Mbappé is starting to find his feet at Real Madrid. After his double against Betis Sevilla (2-0), his first two goals in La Liga, the French striker scored his third goal in the Spanish championship on Saturday on the pitch of Real Sociedad (0-2). A penalty converted at the end of the match (74th) before being replaced one minute from the end of regulation time by Endrick (89th). A good “day’s work” for the captain of the Blues who made someone happy on Saturday evening at the Anoeta stadium.
“Never seen before during a match”
After giving Carlo Ancelotti a warm hug, the former PSG striker (25 years old) put on a parka and then high-fived his teammates on the bench. A very ordinary scene until a young ball boy came to ask him for his jersey. A bold move that was rewarded. Mbappé took off his parka and offered him his orange tunic. “Never seen before during a match,” AS enthuses on its website. A gesture that lit up the young man’s face, who immediately left with a big smile, the Frenchman’s jersey and… his chair under his elbow.
Ancelotti finds Mbappé “fresher”
With three goals to his name in the league, Kylian Mbappé is approaching his first Champions League match with Real Madrid with full confidence, on Tuesday against Stuttgart.
“It’s very important. I came to Real to experience these kinds of evenings as I said on the first day,” recalls the child of Bondy. “I’m focused, we want a victory to start well because the Champions League has changed with this new format.” His coach also wants to be confident for his striker: “I feel he’s fresher, more active,” affirms Carlo Ancelotti. “It’s better, I really liked his game.”
