Barely 66 hours after an intense battle finished on penalties against Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League, Real Madrid was on the bridge against Villarreal in Liga this Saturday, winning a major victory thanks to a double from Kylian Mbappé (2-1). The Frenchman also criticized the programming of the meeting, making them play two matches at a very close interval.
“It's very difficult, you all saw the match against Atlético, 120 minutes, we played with great emotion … And then two days later, replaying is difficult. The warm -up was also difficult, but we had to respect the club's coat of arms and fight to the end and that's what we did and we were able to win ”said the French international, obviously retained in the list of Didier Deschamps even if his captain's armband would have been questioned internally by the coach of the Blues.
