Salzburg coach Matthias Jaissle recently praised Kylian Mbappé for his outstanding performance during Real Madrid’s 4-1 victory over his team in a UEFA Champions League match. Despite the heavy defeat at the Santiago Bernabéu, Jaissle acknowledged the French forward’s brilliance, calling him exceptional and highlighting his role in Madrid’s dominance.
Jaissle described the challenge of facing one of the world’s best teams, noting that while Salzburg was heavily beaten, Mbappé’s performance stood out. “He was incredible,” Jaissle remarked. “It’s not just his goals—it’s how he influences the game, creates chances, and makes things happen every time he touches the ball. His composure and skill are something special, even as an opponent.”
Mbappé, who joined Madrid last summer in a record transfer, scored twice, including a stunning solo goal, and provided an assist. His electrifying performance left even some Salzburg fans applauding. Jaissle saw the defeat as a valuable learning opportunity, recognizing the experience of facing players like Mbappé as essential for growth.
For Real Madrid, led by Carlo Ancelotti, Mbappé’s star continues to shine, further establishing the club as a title contender. His performances are cementing his legacy at the club, while Jaissle’s praise reflects the respect even rivals have for his remarkable talent.
