Real Madrid: the Kylian Mbappé machine is launched!

Its detractors should soon release the reversible jacket. Arriving last summer at Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé did not have the easiest adaptation in the world with the Merengues. In addition to an obvious time of adaptation to a new team and a new championship, the Bondynois had to deal with several controversies over his invectives with PSG, his setbacks with the French team and his sulfurous exit in Stockholm. Having left all that behind him, Mbappé was able to regain his former level.

Being able to count on the unwavering support of Carlo Ancelotti, the captain of the Blues was able to overcome his mediocre performances on the pitch to once again become one of the best players in the world in recent weeks. Author of five goals in the last four matches, the player trained at AS Monaco took to the pitch at Real Valladolid this Saturday evening. A seemingly easy meeting against the red lantern that Kylian Mbappé started very well. On the legs, the 26-year-old striker created numerous chances and opened the scoring after half an hour of play. Still just as inspired after returning from the locker room, Mbappé scored a second goal as polished as ever before completing his superb match with a hat-trick scored from the penalty spot at the very end of the match.

A hat-trick that restarts the race for Pichichi between Kylian Mbappé and Robert Lewandowski

(Great architect of this precious victory for Real Madrid in the ranking (0-3))(), Kylian Mbappé scored his first hat-trick with the capital club. A pride for the number 9 of Real who spoke after the match: “happy with the hat-trick but especially with the victory, I say it every week but it was important to win today with the Atlético match. We had to play well, we scored the first goal from a collective action. In the second half there are ten minutes where we can play better, we scored the second, we managed well and we scored the third. This gives us confidence, we know that it's not over before the 38th day, we have to win all the time, confidence yes, but also humility for all the matches that remain to be played.» Author of 8 goals in the last 5 matches in all competitions, Mbappé has also relaunched himself in the race for Pichichi.

Now with 15 goals in La Liga, the man who had set the target of 40 goals in all competitions this season returned to a unit led by Robert Lewandowski who will play this Sunday against Valencia (9 p.m.). Asked about this mano-à-mano in perspective, Kylian Mbappé did not hide that he would like to be one but that it was not one of his priorities: “I said from the first day that I could play all three positions in the attack, that I had to adapt to the team and now both things are clear. I can play attack on the right, in the center, on the left. My movements happen naturally with my teammates and we have to continue. I can say that I have to help them and the whole team because what we want is for Madrid to win. If I'm Pichichi, that's good, I've been several times in my career, but I want to win titles with the team.” For his part, Carlo Ancelotti praised the recent performances and the rise in power of his offensive threat: “Mbappé brings a lot to the team, he has accelerated in recent months and obviously for us, it’s a plus, he’s a player who has a lot of quality.” You will have understood, Kylian Mbappé is getting everyone to agree in Madrid!
