Having got off to a flying start for his second season at Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé has established himself as one of the biggest offensive threats in Europe. In 16 matches in all competitions, the French striker has scored 18 goals and provided 2 assists.
In the columns of the daily AS, the former Merengue scorer, Karim Benzema, welcomed the start of his compatriot’s season. Aware of the Bondynois’ progress in the Madrid jersey, the 2022 Ballon d’Or nevertheless estimated that the former Parisian still had a level to overcome.
“In Madrid, it’s like that”
“He is much better this season. Scoring goals is nothing new for him. He was already doing it at PSG and he will score goals in Madrid, maybe even more. He’s a boy who will always score goals. But what we expect from Kylian is to be there when Madrid need him. There will be matches where Mbappé does not touch the ball. But if he has an opportunity, he must take it. In Madrid, it’s like that”, KB9 explained.
“There are matches, like against Atlético Madrid or Liverpool, they are teams that are falling back and he has to work at this level. Because Madrid is waiting for Mbappé for these moments, to win the Champions League and other titles. I think he can get there, but with the other players. Because he can’t do it alone.”added the Al-Ittihad star. After the setbacks against Atlético Madrid (5-2) and Liverpool (0-1), Mbappé and his team will have a new test against Manchester City on December 10.
