Scorer against Getafe during Real Madrid's victory (2-0), Mbappé reassured his coach and his teammates. Both Carlo Ancelotti and Thibaut Courtois praised the French striker after the match.
Relieved ! This is what emerged from Carlo Ancelotti's post-match press conference. After Real's logical victory against Getafe (2-0), the Italian coach returned to Kylian Mbappé's performance. After missing a penalty at Anfield in midweek, the French striker contributed to his team's success by scoring his 8th La Liga goal of the season. A relief for him as for Ancelotti. “It was a relief, because it put us 2-0… I think it was a relief for him too. It was a spectacular goal, with superb execution.” explained the Italian tactician. Man of the match, Mbappé could have scored one or two additional goals with more success. But the Frenchman will be satisfied with this nice goal scored outside the area.
“I think he did a very good job.”
Scrutinized every week for his performances on the pitch, Mbappé will have a little respite after his performance against Getafe. Number 9 was also defended by his goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. For the Belgian, the goal scored was not easy and the Frenchman responded. “We support him, of course. I have had him many times as an opponent, I know his qualities. I think he is doing a very good job. His goal was perhaps the opportunity the hardest one he had today and he put it on. The others are a bit of bad luck.” detailed the Real goalkeeper. Convinced of the work of the French international, Courtois knows that Mbappé must continue this momentum both offensively and defensively. In the absence of Vinicius, the former Parisian has a role to play in the Madrid eleven. In a few days, Real travels to Bilbao to continue to get closer to Barça. A match where Mbappé will have to confirm.
