After the match against Sevilla, Carlo Ancelotti expressed his immense pride in Kylian Mbappé, whom he had recently stated was fully back to his best form.
Before Real Madrid’s 18th match of the season in La Liga, the Madrid coach had openly praised the French captain. He had mentioned that the difficult period for the French international was behind him, and that Mbappé was now ready to enjoy playing in his new colors.
“Mbappé’s adaptation period is over. He’s shown a great version of himself. He can still improve, but he’s been performing well in the last few games. He’s happy to be here, and I think the period, which he obviously needed, is now behind him,” he had said.
This statement was confirmed by the French forward during the game against Sevilla, where he made an impact from the very first minutes. After a brilliant pass from Rodrygo, Mbappé took a powerful shot from 25 meters out, finding the back of the net past the opposition goalkeeper.
In addition, the French captain further distinguished himself by providing an assist to Brahim Diaz, allowing the young Moroccan to score Real Madrid’s fourth goal.
At the end of the 4-2 victory over Sevilla, Carlo Ancelotti took the opportunity to revisit his comments about Mbappé’s return to form. He couldn’t hide his satisfaction with the French forward’s performance.
“Kylian Mbappé has done his self-criticism and managed to overcome a situation that might have been difficult. He showed all of his qualities. I said on Saturday (December 21, 2024, before the match) that his adaptation period was over, and he proved me right. Sometimes, I’m right,” concluded Don Carlo.
