After a promising start with a goal in the European Super Cup, the French international had some difficulties in La Liga. But he was able to bounce back and was decisive in the last few games. Carlo Ancelotti said he was very satisfied with the progress of his striker.

Kylian Mbappé continues to adapt to his new life at Real Madrid. Arriving on a free this summer after the end of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, the French striker scored in his first match in Madrid colours, in the 2-0 victory against Atalanta in the European Super Cup.

However, his debut in La Liga was more laborious, especially in the matches against Mallorca (1-1), Valladolid (3-0 victory) and Las Palmas (1-1). But, the former Parisian finally unblocked his counter in the championship against Betis Sevilla, at Santiago Bernabéu, scoring a double with the help of Vinicius Jr, who gave him the opportunity to take a penalty.

This Saturday, the two accomplices repeated by each scoring a penalty, allowing the Merengue to win 2-0 against Real Sociedad. But beyond this new success and the goal of his star recruit, coach Carlo Ancelotti noted progress in the form of his number 9.

“I feel he is fresher, more active. He is very dangerous, he combines well with Vinicius and the other attackers. He is progressing a lot. I really liked his match.”judged the Mister at a press conference.
