Real Madrid relies on Mbappé for direct Champions League last-16 spot

Real Madrid faces Stade Brestois this Wednesday, the 29th, away from home, in the final round of the Champions League group stage. Already qualified for the playoffs, the Spanish team still dreams of securing a direct spot in the round of 16. Get the latest football scores at football score ai.

For this, the team led by Carlo Ancelotti is counting on forward Kylian Mbappé, who is experiencing his best form since joining the club. More adapted and comfortable with his teammates, the Frenchman has scored 22 goals in 32 games for Real Madrid.

Of these, nine came in January, across eight matches. In the most recent game, against Valladolid in La Liga over the weekend, Mbappé scored his first hat-trick since arriving in Spain. Unsurprisingly, he was named the tournament’s best player in January.

According to Ancelotti, the forward has overcome some physical issues, adapted better to the team, and has been enjoying playing alongside Vini Jr, Bellingham, Rodrygo, and others.

“Kylian has been playing very well; he needed some time to adapt to the team and improve his condition. Now he is in great shape and motivated. He enjoys playing with the team, and we are enjoying it too. The team is improving, and we are close to our best level. Mbappé is adding a lot,” said the coach in a press conference.
