Kylian Mbappé is starting to settle in at Real Madrid. This Tuesday, and for the fifth game in a row, the French striker scored. And, for once, it wasn’t a ready-made goal or converted from a penalty. He thus confirms his rise to power with his entire merengue team.
Mbappé still a scorer
At 40e minute of play, the former Parisian secured the break in favor of his team. And he did it by being both the penultimate passer and also the scorer. At the end of a collective action, which saw the Merengue make 26 passes without interruption, he served Jude Bellingham with a magnificent backheel, before then concluding with a hook and a low shot. An achievement in his pure style and which illustrates that he is now full of confidence.
Mbappé stayed on the pitch until the end while Valverde and Rodrygo had been taken off early for Carlo Ancelotti. A surprising choice from Carlo Ancelotti, knowing that the derby against Atlético was looming and that today’s match seemed over after 48 minutes.e minute and a third goal scored by Rodrygo. It only seemed so, because Alaves revived the suspense towards the end by scoring twice in one minute (85e
and 86e). Fortunately, the locals tightened the lock towards the end to preserve the victory.
A complicated end to the match for Real
Unlike their previous outings, Real started the game better than they finished it. The credit for this goes to Lucas Vazquez in particular. Starting to everyone’s surprise, the experienced winger broke the deadlock in the 1e
minute of play.
With this victory, Real puts pressure on FC Barcelona again, who play on Wednesday night against Getafe. There is only one point difference between the two giants of La Liga.
