After a mixed start in his new Real Madrid colours, Kylian Mbappé delivered his best match since his arrival in the Spanish capital on Saturday evening, on the Real Sociedad pitch. Rather in form, the former Parisian scored from a penalty and was voted man of the match. A good omen before the return of the Champions League.
This Tuesday evening, Real Madrid hosts Stuttgart for the 1era Champions League matchday. On the eve of the match, Carlo Ancelotti praised his new number 9 in a press conference, whom he considers to be ” the best player in the world “.
Ancelotti: “These players have been replaced by the best player in the world”
“The team is what you saw and is the result of what happened. We lost two important players, Nacho and Toni Kroos. We lost Joselu. These players were replaced by the best player in the world, or one of the best players in the world. So is our team better than last season? I think so.”launched the Italian technician.
Also speaking to the media, Dani Carvajal spoke about Mbappé’s Champions League debut at the Santiago Bernabéu. Kylian Mbappé is a player who has experience of Europe. I don’t think the first Champions League match will weigh on him, said the Spanish defender. But I think so, tomorrow (Tuesday) he will see what it is like to play at the Bernabeu in the Champions League with Real Madrid. He will feel a very nice and special atmosphere and feeling. And I am sure he will remember it forever.”
