Kylian Mbappé finds himself in a delicate position at Real Madrid. A lot of expectations are placed on him, especially in the context of the succession of his long-time idol Cristiano Ronaldo. However, after his double against Betis Sevilla (2-0), Mbappé calmed his world on this subject.
The drought is finally over! Sunday evening, on the occasion of the fourth day of Liga and his second appearance in the Santiago Bernabeu as the star striker of the Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé ended his lack of success by scoring a double. Initially, Mbappe unlocked the match thanks to an inspired backheel from Federico Valverde which allowed the world champion to adjust and then deceive Rui Silva. To finish, Vinicius Jr got a penalty which he offered to his attacking partner and Kylian Mbappé did not need to be asked twice to transform it.

“I don’t think about Cristiano”
Contrary to Cristiano RonaldoKylian Mbappé was not able to open his goal counter on the first day of the championship but rather from the 4th. However, no pressure on his shoulders to be expected as the successor of Ronaldo. “Is it pressure to be Cristiano Ronaldo’s successor? No, no pressure, it’s football. I know my qualities. I don’t think about Cristiano, with all due respect to him and everyone knows the respect I have for him.”
“I am Kylian and I have no pressure”
At the microphone of‘The Beach Bar’, Kylian Mbappé continued his argument by emphasizing that he is true to himself and does not compare himself to anyone else. “But I’m Kylian and I have no pressure. I said it, the only pressure I have is to adapt well to the team because I know how important it is. All the other things will go well, I’m happy, I’m going to work. I come with the right intentions. I’m a good player, everything will go well.”
