Ceballos Surrenders to Mbappé, What He Says about Him is Historic: 'He Looks Like...'

Ceballos can't help it and praises his teammate, Mbappé, for his outstanding performance

Talking about Kylian Mbappé is talking about one of the best players in the world without any existing doubt. The French player has made a difference in every team he's been in, and Real Madrid wouldn't be the exception. Although it took him a while to get started, today with his latest games, he's demonstrated his importance.

In this last game against Las Palmas, it was a complete exhibition by the Frenchman who was so close to scoring his first hat-trick. However, Ceballos's words clearly expose what this star player's game was like for his teammates. "Kylian seemed like a cartoon today; he was on fire, grabbing the ball and making a difference."

"This is the Kylian we're all used to seeing, and hopefully, we can enjoy him all season," the Sevillian added. These words are what many fans perceive and feel right now about their new star transfer.

The Mbappé everyone expected

Kylian is a standout player for obvious reasons, as at 26 years old, he's even led his country to win a World Cup. With PSG, things weren't going so well, but he still made a difference for his team. However, now at Madrid, everything is different due to pressure and prestige.

Now that he seems to have returned to his best level, his teammates praise his performance on the field. Even Vinícius, who couldn't be on the field but was in the stands, enjoyed watching him.

Ceballos's words humorously exemplify what Mbappé does on the field. Some might interpret it as being so different that he breaks the 'logical' scheme of the game. Additionally, the reference to being a 'cartoon' seems to have been spot on for many.

He'll keep improving

Being very young and with a very promising future ahead, the Frenchman has everything to become an even better footballer in the near future. Right now, in 23 matches, he has 17 goals and 3 assists, but the feeling is that these numbers will soon fall short.
