Author of only one goal in his last seven matches with Real Madrid (a superb strike against Celta de Vigo on October 19), Kylian Mbappé is really expected to shake the nets in the coming days. The Merengues, who have returned to six points behind Barça at the top of La Liga, face Leganés on Sunday (6:30 p.m.), in the southern suburbs of the capital, before a magnificent Champions League shock against Liverpool, next Wednesday at Anfield.
Not summoned by Didier Deschamps to the French team (probably sanctioned after his controversial absence in October), Mbappé was able to rest a little. He returned to training on Tuesday in great shape. Footage of today’s opposition at Real Madrid City has been released on video and Real fans are delighted to see the 25-year-old number 9 wreak havoc on his teammates, all with speed and technical mastery.
Easy schedule for Mbappé
Part of the Madrid squad has obviously gone to the selection, like Antonio Rüdiger, Luka Modric, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Jude Bellingham, Arda Güler, Brahim Diaz and Vinicius. They will be back on Wednesday or even Thursday for the South Americans. Since David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Lucas Vazquez, Aurélien Tchouameni and Rodrygo are all recovering, Carlo Ancelotti has called on many young players, particularly from the U19 team.
With a disappointing Mbappé for the moment (6 goals in the league, one in the European Cup), Real will then face Getafe, Bilbao and Girona in La Liga, before a reunion with Atalanta, the first opponent of the season during the European Super Cup last August. With two victories and two defeats on the clock, Real are only 18th, outside the top 8 directly qualifying for the round of 16.
