It was a great exhibition that the Real Madrid striker gave yesterday at the Bernabéu. Praises have been raining down from all sides ever since.
This is the Mbappé that the supporters and the club were waiting for. The one capable of making the differences and unstoppable with the ball. Because if it was Las Palmas who opened the scoring after thirty seconds this Sunday, conditioning the entire Bernabéu by catching their opponents cold, the match quickly changed, thanks in particular to an XXL match from the Frenchman.
Playing mainly in the center, although swapping in sequence with Rodrygo on the left wing, the former PSG player probably had his best game in the white jersey since his arrival at the club last summer. Converting a penalty without trembling for the equalizer for the Merengues, the Frenchman did everything to perfection. Dribbling, passing, calls, defensive support, a full match for number 9.
Author of a double, and not even far from a hat-trick if a slight offside position at the start of the action had not been reported to him, Kylian was logically elected man of the match against Las Palmas. Internally, Madrid management is rubbing its hands.
-“He reminded us of Cristiano”
“Today his first half reminded Cristiano, for the superiority he had over his opponents. He is confident and his teammates look for him a lot because they know his movements,” said an internal source of the club after the match, relayed by the Relevo media. “In Valdebebas, he made nine shots out of ten. What happened to him was not normal,” he adds.
His coach also praised the Frenchman’s great performance: “He’s the best center forward in the world. We wondered if he could play in this position or rather on the left. He’s a great striker, he’s very good in the middle, more than on the wing, he’s a unique attacker,” Ancelotti said of Mbappé’s positioning.
Goals like ketchup
The numbers are there, Mbappé is well and truly launched. He has been piling up the goals in recent weeks, having even come within 4 lengths of Lewandowski in the race for Pichichi in La Liga. The Barça striker has 16 goals, compared to 12 for Kylian. In the current season, Mbappé now has 17 goals in 24 appearances and has scored in all three finals played by Real Madrid.
