Madrid – Kylian Mbappe, fresh from a stunning hat-trick that propelled Real Madrid to a 6-3 aggregate victory over Manchester City in the Champions League play-off, has declared his intention to “write history” with the Spanish club.
Following his crucial goal in the first leg, Mbappe delivered a masterclass performance at the Santiago Bernabeu, showcasing his exceptional speed, agility, and clinical finishing.
His three goals overwhelmed Pep Guardiola’s team, securing Real Madrid’s spot in the last 16.
This performance marks a significant turnaround for Mbappe, who faced scrutiny from Real Madrid fans and pundits earlier in the season after a perceived slow start.
Despite initial criticism, he has now scored 27 goals across all competitions, indicating he has fully adapted to life in Madrid.
“The adaptation period for me has ended and now I have to show my quality,” Mbappe stated, emphasizing his desire to make a significant impact this season. He expressed his confidence in Real Madrid’s qualification, stating, “For us it was only logical that Real reached the next round of the Champions League.”
Mbappe’s recent form echoes his prolific record at Paris Saint-Germain, where he scored 256 goals in 308 appearances.
The Real Madrid faithful have embraced their new star, giving him a standing ovation when he was substituted in the 78th minute.
As BBC Radio 5 Live’s John Murray noted, the ovation reflected the deep admiration the Madrid fans now have for the French striker.
