Carlo Ancelotti has expressed confidence in Kylian Mbappé, despite his ongoing goal drought at Real Madrid. While Mbappé struggles, Vinícius Júnior stole the show with a hat-trick in their 4-0 win over Osasuna. Ancelotti remains hopeful that Mbappé will soon regain his scoring form for the club.
Carlo Ancelotti has voiced his full support for Kylian Mbappé, despite the forward's ongoing goal drought for Real Madrid. Mbappé, who has not scored in four consecutive matches, has been deployed in a central role, which differs from his usual position on the left wing. However, Ancelotti is confident that Mbappé will soon find the back of the net, highlighting his impressive link-up play.
While Mbappé struggles, Vinícius Júnior has been in spectacular form, stealing the spotlight with a stunning hat-trick in Madrid's 4-0 win over Osasuna in La Liga. Ancelotti praised Vinícius for being the difference-maker, noting that despite finishing second in the 2024 Ballon d'Or race, the Brazilian remains unaffected and continues to deliver exceptional performances on the pitch.
Mbappé’s arrival at Madrid in the summer generated immense excitement, but his start at the club has been somewhat underwhelming. With only eight goals in 15 matches, fans are beginning to question whether the French star can live up to expectations. Despite this, Ancelotti remains unshaken, emphasizing that the striker's quality will eventually shine through.
Looking ahead, Mbappé will have another opportunity to end his goal drought when Real Madrid faces Leganés on November 24 after the international break. Fans are eager to see how he adapts to his new role and whether he can rediscover his prolific form.
