On the eve of the long-awaited Clasico between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona (Saturday 9 p.m.), Carlo Ancelotti expressed his confidence in Kylian Mbappé. The French striker, who has already scored 8 goals in 13 matches in all competitions this season, is preparing to challenge one of his favorite opponents, against whom he has often shone at the Camp Nou with PSG.
Ancelotti says he is happy with Mbappé’s performances since his arrival, although he admits “ always look for the best version » of the player. “He will bring as always, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less”, he confided at a press conference, emphasizing Mbappé’s serenity and experience against Barça.
An expected impact despite ongoing integration
Ancelotti praised Mbappé’s calm in his preparation, without particular pressure for this La Liga shock. Author of a magnificent goal against Celta de Vigo last week, Mbappé has remained silent in the Champions League for two matches, but his involvement in the game remains decisive. The Italian coach believes that “ Mbappé has all the qualities to become even better” and expects a notable contribution from his star on Saturday evening at the Santiago Bernabeu.
