Thibaut Courtois did not hesitate to affirm that Mbappé had become the leader of the Madrid attack.
“We must look for other solutions”
Questioned in turn at a press conference, Xabi Alonso however wanted to rule out any idea of dependence on Mbappé. The Madrid coach nevertheless admitted that it was essential to diversify the sources of goals.
“We didn’t score at Liverpool or Vallecas and that’s not just down to Kylian, but the team as a whole. When we concede few goals, it’s not just thanks to the defenders, it’s thanks to the whole team, and when we don’t score we have to look for alternatives, not only in the striker, but also in the wingers or attacking midfielders, on set pieces. We have to look for other solutions and the goals will come back, I have no doubt about that.”confided the Spanish technician this Saturday.
