The Frenchman spoke to Real Madrid TV after the win over Sevilla and admitted the day in San Mamés was a low point.
Mbappé shone in the 4-2 win against Sevilla, creating a bomb that shook Álvaro Fernández's net. It was his fourth consecutive game in which he celebrated a goal, and the second in which he also provided an assist – this time for Brahim.
Ancelotti had already declared the day before: “His adjustment is over.” Kylian confirmed it with his performance on the pitch and reiterated it in his post-match comments in the club's official media.
Sincere, demanding, mature and ambitious: Mbappé has shown his growth. As previously described in this newspaper, the match in San Mamés was a crucial moment for him. That day he reached a low point: he missed a penalty and faded into the background when the spotlight was on him.
He thought about it all during his flash interview. Vinicius was not there that day, just as he was not there today. The difference? Mbappé was not fully present that day either. Today he was.
Was this the best game of the season?
We played very well. We have improved in recent months. It was a difficult match, even after the trip to Qatar. We were a little tired. But we did well, we scored some good goals. I think Madrid fans will like the match. And we will do that too.
What has changed? Goals now come more smoothly…
We know each other better. I just arrived and that has changed a lot. Like the coach said, the adjustment is over. And now I play much better.
And what a goal!
We always stock them up like this during training the day before the match. And Fede also scored in a similar way.
What is your assessment so far?
I can do much more. I have a lot more in my legs. The match against Bilbao was good for me. I reached a low point, I missed a penalty… It was the moment I realized that I have to give everything for this shirt and play with more personality.
And what are you asking for 2025?
First of all, the best to all Real Madrid fans and their families. On a personal level, that's what matters. And as a player, many titles and many games like today's.
