Kylian Mbappé continues to panic the scorers with already 7 goals and an assist in 6 matches in all competitions. After two remarkable first seasons at Real Madrid on an individual level, concluded with 44 then 42 goals, the French striker remains eagerly awaited by Madrid supporters. For them, his individual statistics are not enough: they now want to see Casa Blanca lift trophies. A requirement that Bixente Lizarazu understands perfectly, as he explained on Sunday in Téléfoot.
“What must Kylian do to achieve unanimity in Madrid? He must win the Champions League, that’s obvious. You mark the history of a club when you win the Champions League. The supporters don’t care if a player is top scorer. What they want above all is to be winner of the Champions League, winner of the Spanish championship for Real Madrid, and after that, if there are small bonuses, they will be happy. But that’s what they’re waiting for. If there are criticisms of Kylian, it is not in relation to his effectiveness in front of goal. It is in relation to the fact that a great player must win major competitions”. The message has gotten through!
