The only time this season that Real Madrid faced a tough opponent, the Merengues sank (5-2 against Atlético de Madrid). But while waiting to show a better face, the Casa Blanca is doing the job against inferior teams. And it can count on a very fit Kylian Mbappé . Author of 8 goals in 7 Spanish league matches, the captain of the French team is also putting on a show in the Champions League . Author of a hat-trick against Kairat Almaty, Mbappé played a large part in the Merengues' 5-0 victory . Enough to earn him, once again, the praise of the Madrid media.
"Mbappé is at the top ," says Bruno Alemany, followed by other consultants on Cadena SER radio . "He's on top of the world. He's the best player at the moment thanks to his decisiveness," agrees Alvaro Benito, before AS journalist Tomas Roncero, a big supporter of the Casa Blanca, intervenes . "We're very lucky. The Premier League is very rich, but we've gone from Cristiano and Messi to Mbappé and Lamine. And to Julián (Alvarez)." "The superior being is Mbappé," AS headlines . However, despite his three goals, Mbappé wasn't all that satisfied. "The Frenchman almost scored his best goal of the season in the Champions League in the 42nd minute. A hat-trick and 60 goals in the Champions League. But Mbappé wasn't entirely satisfied, because he could have scored five. "Cristiano Ronaldo was like that ," writes Marca .
Mbappé like CR7
A state of mind confirmed by the main person concerned after the match. " We must never forget, we will not forget what happened this weekend. It's another competition, but we must continue to remember what happened this weekend to be better and avoid another night like this. My job is to help the team. I only think about helping the team and doing what I can so that they win, if I score it's good, and if not, in another way so that they win trophies ," he declared to Movistar+ , before explaining why he was not happy.
" Of course, a player like me with five chances... I want to score five goals and I have to score five. That's why Madrid signed me. Three is good, but I could have scored more. I'm going to work to be more efficient in front of goal ." The fact remains that Mbappé's start to the season has been excellent, with 15 goals scored in his last 11 matches. In the Champions League, the 2018 world champion is also on a very high level. In two matches, he scored twice against Olympique de Marseille and then a hat-trick tonight against Kairat Almaty. Top scorer in La Liga (8 goals) and the Champions League (5 goals), the former Parisian has started his season in a very good way statistically. It remains to be seen whether this will allow Real Madrid to fill its trophy cabinet at the end of the season.
