Lobo Carrasco gives in to this Real Madrid player, admits he's better than Yamal

The Barça panelist spoke about the top-level performance of a Real Madrid player

Real Madrid defeated WSG Tirol (0-4) last Tuesday at Tivoli Stadion in Innsbruck (Austria). In a warm-up match ahead of the start of LaLiga, Kylian Mbappé excelled with two goals and an assist to Rodrygo Goes. The French forward, who was making his debut wearing the "10" on his back, couldn't have had a better start.

Kylian Mbappé's match has caused a large number of reactions in the media and on social media. The Frenchman has shown that he will start the season in great shape, something even Lobo Carrasco himself acknowledged. The panelist, who appeared on the set of "El Chiringuito," made it clear that the Frenchman's level is outstanding.

Lobo Carrasco's words about Kylian Mbappé

"Mbappé, if the team works like today with improved pressing, he's going to score even more goals than last season," Lobo Carrasco began by saying.

However, the praise was accompanied by a slighting of other top-level Real Madrid players. In order to speak highly of Kylian Mbappé, Lobo Carrasco had to take a jab at other stars like Vinícius or Jude Bellingham.

"The front pages are going to be for Mbappé. We want to talk about Bellingham or Vinícius, but no. For me, no," Lobo Carrasco explained as the rest of the panelists watched alertly.

"The only one who can face Lamine right now is Mbappé. One is scoring more goals than the other, but the other is almost unstoppable; for me, it's Mbappé. Lamine seems to me to be at a stratospheric level because he gives the team certain things when it's stuck," the former footballer added.

Lobo Carrasco stands out again for his lack of objectivity

Meanwhile, Lobo Carrasco's words haven't surprised Madridists, since the former footballer is usually very subjective. He always stands out for being influenced by his radical feelings toward the culé club and now toward Lamine Yamal. He already did so with Leo Messi and now he'll do it in the coming years with the young blaugrana winger.

However, at Real Madrid, they like that sense of fear Kylian Mbappé is starting to cause in opponents. The Frenchman, despite not having his best season, finished with 44 goals, being "Pichichi" and Golden Boot. Now, with an improved team, the forward aims to improve even more.
