This Saturday evening, Real Madrid welcomes Girona to the Santiago Bernabéu in La Liga. A match with high stakes, both on a collective and individual level. If the Madrilenians, second in the championship, want to reduce the gap they have on Barça by securing plenty of points, all eyes will be on Kylian Mbappé, in search of redemption.
Real are counting on Mbappé
The French striker is going through a delicate period. Criticized for his ineffectiveness and his lack of impact during his last outings, he is obliged to pull himself together. Facing Girona, a team that is solid defensively and daring offensively, Mbappé will not have an easy task. Coach Carlo Ancelotti declared at a press conference that he expected “a strong reaction” from his French prodigy.
Opposite, Girona is not an easy opponent. Driven by dynamic and collective play, the Catalans have already shaken big clubs this season. A victory at the Bernabéu would allow them to dream even bigger.
Real Madrid are counting on Mbappé to regain his shine and lead the team to a crucial victory. The challenge is clear: attack Barça and revive the French star.
