If there is a man who can get up with the feeling of duty accomplished in Madrid on Monday, it's Kylian Mbappé. During this fourth Real Madrid defeat in a Clasico this season, Le Bondynois offered a hat -trick. We can say it, he was the only merengue player to have been at the stake, especially if we compare his performance with that of the other big players of the team like Vinicius Jr or Jude Bellingham, authors of a particularly bad match on the lawn of the sworn enemy on Sunday afternoon.
The captain of the Blues is therefore doing rather well in the analyzes of the Spanish press, while the majority of his teammates are the target of particularly violent criticisms, Vinicius JR at the top of the list. For many observers, the main teaching of this Real Madrid defeat is obvious: the leader and the star of this team is Kylian Mbappé, well in front of his Brazilian or Jude Bellingham counterpart.
He scored points again
And this victory will have consequences for French. Positive consequences, necessarily, as the daily point AS. If internally some leaders still had little doubts, they were definitively buried by the performance of the number 9 Merengue on Sunday. For the club, there is no doubt about Le Bondynois, and management believes that it is around him that the club must build his project for the future. “Mbappé, and 24 others”title even the Spanish media.
AS Also reveal that within management, we consider that he can still raise his level of play in a better project, with a new coach which should be Xabi Alonso and a renewed workforce. Vinicius JR will be extended, with a salary increase to the key, but he will have to be content to be an assistant and not a leader. This is what we think in the Bernabéu offices. We can say it, even if he would surely have preferred to win, Kylian Mbappé still comes out of this clasico.
