Kylian Mbappé has delivered a contrasting first season with Real Madrid. The former Parisian had a slow start with the Merengue, crystallizing very many criticisms for long months. And if the rest was much more convincing, Real Madrid ended the season without the slightest trophy.
Bondynois has nevertheless treated its statistics since this winter. So much so that he is about to finish the best scorer in the Liga and could even win the first golden shoe in his career in the event of a new goal in his last match, this weekend, against Real Sociedad.
However, Kylian Mbappé did not fully convince outside of Madrid. The tricolor world champion should once again be satisfied with an accessit during the next Ballon d'Or, where, conversely, the Lamine Yamal prodigy could create the sensation. The Barcelona striker has among the main favorites alongside Ousmane Dembélé and will be able to count on the support of his compatriot Dani Parejo.
Lamine Yamal is a “magician”
The emblematic midfielder of Villarreal is indeed rave about the young Blaugrana and is much more impressed by the Catalan than by Kylian Mbappé, despite better statistics from French.
“Mbappé did not surprise me so much as that, even by putting all these goals, and it is a statistical madness. But I see football in another way, he explained to the microphone of the Cadena Ser. For me, Lamine Yamal, even having scored 20 less goals, brings much more. He is a magician, he has an incredible amount of resources on the ground. He is a special kid, he has things that others do not have. It is incredible that with 17 years he understands football this point. »»
