After four matches in all competitions without scoring with Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé reassured himself on Sunday by scoring his 7th goal in La Liga this season, during the Merengues’ short trip to the southern suburbs of the capital, against Leganés. Enough to provide a little relief to the (fallen?) captain of the France team, who remained at the club during the international window since he was not called up by Didier Deschamps.
Mbappé took advantage of a real offering from Vinicius to find the net. Following good pressing from Eduardo Camavinga and a tackle from Jude Bellingham in front of the opposing area, “Vini” escaped in front of the Leganés goal and, instead of shooting, found his French teammate, who only needed to push the ball into the back of the net (43rd).
Mbappé on the left at the expense of Vinicius!
The French number 9 of Real can therefore thank his Brazilian teammate, but the meeting against the 14th in Liga has still not resolved the “Mbappé problem” among the Merengues. Quite the contrary. Faced with the Bondynois’ poor form, Carlo Ancelotti replaced him to the left of Vinicius. Mbappé thus started the game by making overflows on the left wing, while “Vini”, blocked in the center, had fewer opportunities to make the difference.
Despite the unconvincing choice of an Italian staff who have been carrying out tactical tests since the start of the season, Vinicius had already put Mbappé in orbit at the start of the match but the Frenchman scored strongly by being flagged offside (10th). Mbappé and Vinicius did not show any intelligence in playing together before this easy assist from Auriverde.
