Ancelotti on Mbappé's LaLiga Goal Wait: It Will Come

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed calm and confidence as Kylian Mbappé’s journey in LaLiga continues, even though the French forward has yet to find the back of the net in his first two league games. After a sensational start in the UEFA Super Cup, where Mbappé scored against Atalanta, he has since faced tougher challenges in Spain’s top flight.

Mbappé’s arrival at Real Madrid has been one of the biggest stories of the summer transfer window, with fans eagerly waiting to see how he would perform in LaLiga. While there were high expectations following his brilliant form at Paris Saint-Germain, including his prowess in the UEFA Champions League, adapting to a new league can sometimes be challenging, even for a player of Mbappé’s caliber.

Ancelotti remains unperturbed by the lack of goals from the young forward, stating that Mbappé is still finding his rhythm and is playing in a slightly different role compared to his time in Paris. “He’s a spectacular forward,” Ancelotti said, “He had three good chances, and it’s only a matter of time before he starts scoring again.”

The coach went on to praise Mbappé’s movements off the ball, stating that the 25-year-old forward is making the right runs and positioning himself well. This is important as Real Madrid looks to defend their LaLiga title this season and reestablish themselves as one of the top clubs in European football.

The team’s recent 3-0 win against Real Valladolid, while satisfying, saw Mbappé subbed off after 86 minutes without getting on the scoresheet. Still, the night belonged to the fans, who cheered on their team’s victory and are optimistic that Mbappé’s goals will soon come. Federico Valverde and Brahim Díaz both contributed to the win, and young Endrick scored his debut goal in extra time.

In his post-match interview, Mbappé was reflective but positive. “It was a great night,” he said. “The fans were amazing. It’s a dream playing in this stadium, and we’ll keep working hard to win more games.” He emphasized the importance of patience and the commitment to delivering for the club.
