Kylian Mbappé never ceases to feast on Madrid supporters. This Saturday in Anoeta, on behalf of the fourth day of Liga, the French international made his class again speak with an achievement that brings his signature. From the twelfth minute of play, Le Bondynois opened the brand in a way that recalls its most beautiful Parisian years. An action that confirms its successful adaptation under the Merengues colors.
Mbappé's shot in Anoeta
It all started with an opposing error. On a missed pass from a Real Sociedad defender, Mbappé found himself alone facing the goal with the space he likes so much. His top speed allowed him to get ahead of the Basque defense before running in the ideal position. Faced with the goalkeeper, no precipitation: the former Parisian fixed it for a few moments before triggering a powerful strike which left him no chance.
This fourth goal of the championship season testifies to the current state of grace of the number 9 Madrid. After his doubles against Oviedo and his goal against Osasuna, Mbappé continues with impressive regularity. His statistics speak for themselves: 35 goals in 38 Liga games in the past season. Figures which confirm its status as a world class scorer and his capacity to adapt to Spanish football.
A real in difficulty despite the opening of the score
The tactical freedom granted by Carlo Ancelotti seems perfectly suited to him. Repositioned in the axis with number 9 in the back, Mbappé finds this spontaneity which made its strength. His recent form in the French team during the September rally confirms this rise in general power. Faced with Real Sociedad, he faced an opponent whom he knows well: seven goals in six confrontations in all competitions.
Paradoxically, this goal was not enough to reassure Real Madrid. The expulsion of Huijsen at half an hour of play for a fault as a last defender complicated the Madrid task. This Basque numerical superiority recalls that even the most beautiful goals do not guarantee victory. Will Mbappé have the shoulders to bring his team inferiority?
