As for the number 9 position, Iván Zamorano knows a thing or two about the demands. Having played for Real Madrid between 1992 and 1996, where he found the net 101 times in 173 games, the former Chilean striker left his mark in the history of the Spanish championship. Guest on the show Mission EuropaZamorano insisted on the needs of Real Madrid today, indicating that the arrival of Kylian Mbappé was not necessary unlike that of a pure number 9.
If you ask me about the needs of Real Madrid, and you talk about Mbappé when you have Vinicius or Rodrygo, recently renewed, and whose contribution has already been proven… I think that Real Madrid needs a real 9. It’s very difficult to score 15 or 20 fewer goals per season, so I think Real Madrid need it. Mbappé is not a Haaland, a Lautaro Martínez, a Harry Kane, a Lewandowski… The need rests more on a 9 than on Kylian Mbappé.
