Kylian Mbappé made headlines by scoring his first hat-trick as a Real Madrid player during a significant victory at the José Zorrilla Stadium. Following the matchday 21 triumph in LaLiga, he expressed his satisfaction not only with the personal achievement but more importantly with securing the three points. “I’m happy with the hat-trick, but above all, the three points. It was very important to win today because the Atlético result put us under pressure,” Mbappé stated in an interview with Realmadrid TV.
The match saw Real Madrid start strongly, applying pressure and scoring the first goal early on. Despite a challenging ten-minute stretch after halftime, Mbappé noted their resilience, stating, “We scored the second and from then on we managed the game well.” This victory has instilled confidence in the team, although he acknowledged that the season is far from over. “It’s not over until the 38th matchday. We always have to win because we are Real Madrid, but we need to approach the league with humility as many games are left,” he added.
Discussing his adaptation to the team, Mbappé said he feels comfortable playing in any of the three attacking positions. “The adaptation is over, and I feel great with my teammates. Everything is coming naturally, but we have to keep going,” he noted. He emphasized the importance of teamwork in achieving their collective goal of winning titles.
Looking ahead, Mbappé indicated that the upcoming Champions League match against Brest will be a challenge, particularly since they are a strong team at home. “We have to win because Real Madrid always has to win,” he declared.
In summary, Mbappé’s impressive performance not only highlights his skill but also points to a renewed sense of determination within Real Madrid as they continue their quest for success in both LaLiga and the Champions League. As the season progresses, fans can look forward to more exciting moments from this talented forward and his teammates. With a focus on teamwork and resilience, there is a hopeful outlook for Real Madrid’s campaign.
