8 years that Real Madrid had no longer won in Liga in Villarreal (in February 2017, 2-3). At the time, Kylian Mbappé barely celebrated his 19th birthday, and he was about to make his big season under the colors of Monaco. In the meantime, Bondy's child had time to become world champion, top scorer in the history of Paris Saint-Germain, and even now Real Madrid player. It is to believe that for the Spanish club, the insoluble problem of CERAMICA could only be resolved by one man: Kylian Mbappé. Tonight, in addition to having entered the black series of his club, he allowed him to record a crucial success in the title race (1-2).
However, it was not an easy task, and Ayoze Perez reminded the Merengues that they would not land in conquered ground. From the 4th minute, the Spanish international came up against a vigilant courteous thibaut, after a pivot number, then again when the Belgian worked prodigiously to repel his new attempt (7th). He was finally helpless for a few moments later on an opposing corner, when Tchouameni saw the ball reboundedly rebounded on his body, to the delight of Foyth (9th). The heat moments intensified on the goal of Real, but courteous maintained his team afloat (17th, 31st) … then Mbappé made the decision.
31 goals at Real Madrid for Mbappé,
The tricolor international had nose and followed an action by Brahim Diaz, whose attempted Pique was pushed by Conde. It equalized a opportunistic half-volley to the penalty point (17th). But the highlight of the show was his second work, the 31st since his arrival at Real Madrid, when he was found by Lucas Vazquez at the entrance to the surface. The former Parisian scanned in the blink of an eye the position of Conde, then triggered instinct a strike halfway up to give the advantage to the Madrilenians (23rd). In the absence of Vinicius, left on the bench in the same way as Rüdiger, Mbappé made the show with Rodrygo, his privileged relay.
The Brazilian was close to driving the nail after an exchange with the French in the area, but found the small external net (31st). Territory, Villarreal had the advantage clearly, but was unable to materialize this domination on the return from the locker room. Frustration was gaining ground in the spirits, and Foyth, not far from the double, complained with a blow received in the face by Bellingham, who pulled himself without sanction. In a disjointed end of the match which will have seen Villarreal shoot 14 times more than his opponent, no one was able to find the way until the goal, which obviously satisfied the Merengues. Thanks to their success this evening, they temporarily resume controls of the Liga, and distance from Barça (which has two late games) at three points. Marcelino's troops are 5th.
