Kylian Mbappé’s thunderous awakening bluffs all of Madrid

Some will say that his goal should not have been awarded due to a penalty not awarded to Celta, after a foul by Andriy Lunin on Williot Swedberg. But Kylian Mbappé’s lightning counter, concluded magnificently by the Frenchman with a left shot from a very tight angle, demonstrates that the Bondynois is back in the forefront after a very difficult 2024.

Against FC Barcelona, ​​in the Spanish Super Cup final, Real Madrid was humiliated (5-2), but Mbappé once again scored a remarkable goal, while accelerating. Criticized for no longer being sharp, particularly in his accelerations, the captain of the Blues has visibly found his legs. Something to delight Merengue fans who must have appreciated the message he posted on his Instagram account: “we don’t play with the coat of arms (of Real Madrid)”.

Mbappé woke up

At a press conference, Carlo Ancelotti was not jubilant because of the new mixed performance of his flock, but he confirmed the strong return of his star striker. “I see a player who is returning to his best level. There is a lot of continuity. He helped us a lot and he can help us in the next matches. » As for the media, again, no surprises. AS enjoyed the goal scored by Madrid’s number 9 and said: “Mbappé takes on Benzema’s clothes”. Just that.

Finally, the Real Madrid specialist for the show The ChiringuitoEdu Aguirre, went even harder. For him, Mbappé is the new leader of the Merengue team, ahead of Vinicius Junior. “I saw the best player in the world over the last four, five years who is Mbappé. I saw the Mbappé of PSG in terms of character, leadership, thirst for victory. He is the player who encouraged his teammates the most. I saw a Mbappé captain. And for Mbappé to tell the Bernabéu what he should and should not do (Mbappé asked the public not to whistle at the players), that makes me happy because he is my Mbappé. We saw a Mbappé who woke up. I see the Mbappé I was waiting for”. Clearly, 2025 has everything to be the year of Mbappé.
