Real Madrid Confidencial Kylian Mbappé Speaks out on Who is the Team Leader: 'At Real Madrid...'
Kylian Mbappé put on a true display in Real Madrid's victory over UD Las Palmas
Another display by Kylian Mbappé in the white jersey. The Frenchman, who was key in the victory against UD Las Palmas, continues to be one of the best assets for Real Madrid. Today he scored up to three goals in the first half, although one was disallowed for offside.
The start of the game was complicated for the Meringues, as Fábio Silva put UD Las Palmas ahead in just 26 seconds. However, the white team quickly reacted and took control of the game. At 17 minutes, Sandro brought down Rodrygo Goes in the area, and Kylian Mbappé didn't miss the opportunity from the penalty spot.
Is it his best game since he arrived at Real Madrid?
From the moment of the draw, a very ambitious Kylian Mbappé could be seen. After scoring from the penalty, he was the one who created the play for the second goal with a magnificent controlled touch and a powerful shot. Even though the visiting goalkeeper blocked his shot, Lucas was able to assist Brahim on the rebound.
Not content with that, the Frenchman scored the third goal with another first-touch shot that ended up hitting the top corner.
Although he managed to score a third later, the referee disallowed the play for offside by Kylian Mbappé, leaving that goal forgotten. The forward closed his first half with a powerful shot that hit the post of the goal defended by Jasper Cillessen.
In the second half, Mbappé kept looking for the goal, although surpassing himself after such an outstanding first half was a difficult task. The pace of the match slowed down after Benito's expulsion, and the Frenchman decided to pace himself.
Who is the true leader of Real Madrid?
After the final whistle, Kylian Mbappé stopped by the microphone of "Real Madrid TV" to answer a series of questions. "Are you the new leader of Real Madrid?", the Frenchman was asked.
During the season, it has been said that Vinícius was one of the team's top leaders. The same has happened with Jude Bellingham, who has had great performances. However, after his match against UD Las Palmas, Kylian Mbappé was asked about it.
"All the players who play for Real Madrid are leaders", commented the Frenchman. Without a doubt, Kylian Mbappé knows he is important in the team, but the team itself is even more so.
