Losing the Super Cup was hard and even though we played well in the Copa del Rey (Thursday against Celta), we made mistakes and we had to play extra time, but we showed character to win today (Sunday), we had an important match to win La Liga.
-And largely due to the effectiveness of Kylian Mbappé, a player who also seems to be gaining more importance off the field: “At Real Madrid, all the players are leaders. It’s the best club in the world, the best players are playing here. I think we just have to be united because we still have a lot of challenges to overcome. It’s normal that people were unhappy on Thursday because Real has to win everything. stay together.” After the championship, Kylian Mbappé will have a new opportunity to blaze in front of his fans in the Champions League on Wednesday evening with the reception of RB Salzburg.
