He has a smile, the liveliness and the fangs that he has been known to him for a long time. This Saturday evening, Kylian Mbappé marked again, and in a very good way. The Frenchman scored the first goal of the meeting between Valladolid and Real Madrid. Without Vinicius, Casa Blanca can rely on its number 9.
At the half hour of play, Kylian Mbappé, back to goal, received a sharp pass from Federico Valverde. The attacker put in one touch to Jude Bellingham before diving into the surface. The Englishman checked and triggered his pass so quickly that one would have said an one-two. Mbappé then adjusted the Valladolid porter of a flat surgical right foot (30th, 0-1).
This is the 13th goal of the Liga season for French, the second most prolific scorter in Spain behind Robert Lewandowski (16 goals). Besides his goal, Kylian Mbappé has been active and confirms his regain of form in recent weeks. Despite the absence of Vinicius to support him, he now seems able to wear Real Madrid.
A Merengues victory against Real Valladolid would also allow them to establish their advance at the top of the Liga. Held in check by Villarreal, Atlético de Madrid lost precious points this Saturday afternoon. It will be relegated to four lengths if Real is essential.
