French forward reflects on his resurgence and commitment to Real Madrid’s success after stellar performance.
Kylian Mbappé stole the show in Real Madrid’s commanding 3-0 victory over Real Valladolid, scoring a sensational hat-trick that showcased his growing influence at the club. The French forward delivered a man-of-the-match performance, stepping up in the absence of injured star Vinícius Jr.
Mbappé opened the scoring in the 30th minute with a clinical finish and doubled Madrid’s lead in the 57th. Deep into stoppage time, he calmly converted a penalty to seal his first hat-trick in the iconic white shirt of Los Blancos.
Speaking after the game, Mbappé expressed both joy and relief following the standout performance.
“I am happy for the hat-trick, but above all for the victory. It was very important to win today because Atlético’s result put pressure on us,” he said.
Reflecting on the team’s performance, the 24-year-old added:
“We started well, pressing high and scoring the first goal. After the break, there were ten minutes where we could’ve played better, but we managed the game well after scoring the second. We’re heading back to Madrid with an important win.”
This victory, Mbappé noted, was crucial not just for the standings but for the team’s morale.
“This triumph gives us confidence, but the league is far from over. We always have to win because we are Real Madrid, but we must approach it with humility as there are many games left,” he said.
After a challenging start to life in Madrid, Mbappé is now finding his rhythm. When asked about his resurgence in form, he credited his versatility and growing understanding with his teammates.
“I’ve played in all three attacking positions, and I feel good in each. The adaptation period is behind me, and I feel very comfortable with my teammates. Everything is flowing naturally now, but we have to keep pushing.”
Despite his individual brilliance, Mbappé emphasized the importance of prioritizing the team’s success.
“What matters most to me is helping the team and winning titles. Personal goals are secondary. What I want is for Real Madrid to win, always.”
Looking ahead, Mbappé acknowledged the challenges of their upcoming UEFA Champions League clash against Brest.
“It’s going to be tough. They’re strong at home, even when playing in Guingamp. But we have to win because Real Madrid always has to win,” he said confidently.
Mbappé’s hat-trick not only cements his place as a key figure in Real Madrid’s attack but also signals a turning point in his journey at the club. With renewed confidence and a hunger for success, he appears ready to lead Madrid in their pursuit of silverware this season.
