Thank you Kylian. After several difficult first months at Real, Mbappé is finding his cruising speed in Madrid. During the round of 16 of the Spanish Cup against Celta Vigo, the Frenchman once again scored a remarkable goal while his team was really shaken up.
It was also a contentious situation in the Madrid area that the action started. While a Celta attacker collapsed and demanded a penalty, Real Madrid launched the counterattack by finding Kylian Mbappé in two passes on the left in their own half. The defenders leaving him space, the captain of the France team advances until he finds himself in the opposing penalty area, off-center. He then eliminates his opponent with a leg swing before striking with his left from a very tight angle and finds the top corner.
Although it appears that a fault existed at the start of the action, the VAR ultimately did not review the situation and awarded the goal to the Frenchman. This is his 15th with Real Madrid since the start of the season in 27 matches. Beyond the striker's newfound confidence, his acceleration in the duel against his defender proves that Kylian Mbappé is in great physical shape. Last Sunday, despite the rout of his Real Madrid against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup, he had already shown such abilities by opening the scoring at the start of the match.
