On an offering from Rodrygo, Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring for Real Madrid against Stuttgart on Tuesday in the Champions League.
There he is, reassured, Kylian Mbappé. Author of an unconvincing start to the season with Real Madrid (four goals in six matches so far, but with two penalties), the captain of the French team scored for his debut with the Merengues in the Champions League, Tuesday evening at the Bernabéu, against Stuttgart.
At the very start of the second half, Rodrygo escaped on the right wing on an opening from Aurélien Tchouaméni which eluded Maximilian Mittelstädt. The Brazilian right winger served the new number 9 of the Merengues on a plate for an easy goal (46th).
Mbappé did not shine in the first half, being uncomfortable as a centre-forward in Carlo Ancelotti’s 4-3-3, even if he had a great opportunity by cutting in alone from the left before coming up against Alexander Nübel (25th). The reigning German vice-champion, for his part, played his luck bravely and struck several times at an imperial Thibaut Courtois.
