It’s quite an art to make the weathervane.
A few weeks ago, the Spanish press crucified Kylian Mbappé comparing him to an Eden Hazard again. Meanwhile, SoFoot comments had almost buried him, doubting a return to the top for the ex-PSG star. And yet, after a resounding 4-1 against Las Palmas, Mbappé reborn in the spotlight : a double (almost triple), involved in two goals and the Spanish media who are now praising him to the skies.
Objective: to surpass Cristiano's first season
Carlo Ancelotti did not hesitate to put a piece back into the machine at a press conference: “ He is the best center forward in the world. He is a tall striker who is good in the middle. His game without the ball is unique. » Same story on the side of ASwhich greets “ uan exceptional performance from the Frenchman » and underlines the speed with which football can turn a player “ from depression to rebirth in three days “. The newspaper even headlines “ Mbappé, the leader of the leader », before also asking: is Madrid number 9 the best striker in the world?
On the side of Markoptimism is also in order. We are already wondering about his ability to surpass the symbolic bar of 40 goals this season and even win the La Liga top scorer trophy. Daily verdict: “ It seems clear that Mbappé has overcome his adaptation period at Real Madrid. A normal process, even for older children. Cristiano Ronaldo, during his first season at the Bernabéu, scored 'only' 33 goals before exceeding 50 in the next six. If Mbappé continues this momentum, he could soon inscribe his name among the legends of the White House. »
