Mbappe rises to the top scorers
The star striker, who has just turned 26, Mbappe, with a beautiful goal and an assist, helped Real Madrid easily defeat Sevilla 4-2 in round 18 of La Liga. Thereby, he took second place from Barcelona and is only 1 point behind the leader Atletico Madrid (40 vs. 41 points). The Catalan team has always led the tournament since the beginning, but is currently ranked 3rd with 38 points and has played 1 more match than the 2 Madrid teams (19 vs. 18).
Mbappe thanked coach Ancelotti for the provocative words that helped him find himself again.
This "three-horse" situation makes the La Liga championship race for the 2024-2025 season fierce. In particular, Mbappe's return to top form is helping Real Madrid, after a period of crisis, find their way back to their inherent class.
Mbappe has now climbed to the top of Real Madrid's scoring charts with a total of 14 goals and 4 assists, equal to teammate Vinicius who also has 14 goals. Meanwhile, behind him are Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo and Federico Valverde with 7 and 6 goals respectively.
This recovery of the top stars helped Real Madrid to finish before the Christmas and New Year holidays with extremely favorable results and positions. The Royal Spanish team also just won the second championship trophy of the season, the Intercontinental Cup (FIFA Intercontinental Cup) after the European Super Cup at the beginning of the season.
"Mbappe has been self-critical. He always shows his qualities. I said that his adaptation period was over, and he showed it right away. Sometimes I'm right," said coach Ancelotti.
Also according to the experienced Italian coach: "Mbappe has proven his ability. From now on, he must score goals and help the team move forward. We have finally achieved what we wanted. A very good position. We will enjoy our vacation and return in 2025 with important goals that have been set and need to be completed."
In the 2024-2025 season, Real Madrid is capable of winning up to 7 championships in the tournaments they participate in. They currently own 2 titles, and have 5 other goals to complete, including La Liga, Champions League, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
