At the fourth attempt, Kylian Mbappe opened his La Liga account, scoring two goals to lead Real Madrid past Real Betis 2-0 at home.
The fact that Mbappe had not scored in Madrid’s first three league games caused the champions to lose against Mallorca and Las Palmas.
On Sunday, things were different as Mbappe scored in the 67th minute thanks to a brilliant Federico Valverde flick.
Eight minutes later, at Santiago Bernabeu, he made it 2-0 from the penalty spot to secure all three points.
After failing to score in his first three La Liga games, Mbappe scored in the UEFA Suρer Cup final on his debut for his new team.
Although Vinicius Jr. won the spot-kιck, he passed it to his teammate, who executed it flawlessly.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti had stated before the match that he was not concerned about Mbappe’s little goal drought.
Despite not having scored yet, Mbappé is playing incredibly well. There’s rιsk because of his influence. Before his team’s Sunday match against Real Betis, Ancelotti said at a news conference that “him settling in here is not a problem.”
“I think that Vinícius and Mbappé are working well together, especially when it comes to the оffensive work.” We’ve scored goals in each and every game, so that hasn’t been an issue.
‘They will improve as a team over time, not only Viní and Mbappé but also Mbappé with the midfield players. Offensively, there is no issue. We won’t have it now that we have the world’s finest attackers, as we haven’t had it in years.
