Once again, Kylian Mbappé has found the back of the net. More and more at ease with his new team Real Madrid, the French striker was once again involved on Tuesday evening, during his team’s success against Alavés (3-2, 7th day of La Liga). A scorer in the fortieth minute, he then allowed his team to go into the locker room with a two-goal lead at the break. As he was going back to the locker room, an opponent came to ask him for his jersey, which he gave him without complaining. But this famous player did not reappear in the second half.
Poisoned chalice? Perhaps, because Abdel Abqar was replaced at half-time. Was the defender immediately sanctioned by his coach? It is quite possible. The scene of this famous request for a jersey was captured by the broadcaster’s cameras and was broadcast worldwide. In the middle of the match, his request for a jersey could have irritated his coach, Luis Garcia, who in any case left him in the locker room to bring in Jon Guridi.
Effective scorer
Real Madrid quickly increased their lead at the start of the second half, before experiencing a bit of a hot streak at the end of the game, with Alavés scoring two goals in the 85th and 86th minutes. A success that allowed the Merengues to temporarily return to within one point of the leader, FC Barcelona, who play this Wednesday against Getafe.
As for Kylian Mbappé, whose rating seems to continue to rise, even among his opponents, he continues his express integration and is already positioning himself for the title of top scorer in the championship, he who currently occupies third place with five goals in seven matches, tied with Raphinha (FC Barcelona) and one unit behind Robert Lewandowski (6, FC Barcelona).
