great goal, two incredible goals and support from the entire Bernabéu in Real Madrid’s victory

After the black night at Anfield for the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé returned to the Santiago Bernabéu to face Getafe and, far from repudiating him, the fans of the Real Madrid They showed him that they still trust the star of the French National Team who arrived from PSG. Some say that this Sunday’s game was Kiki’s first step towards redemption in Merengue: it is true that he still lacks confidence and decided not to execute from eleven steps but, beyond missing two clear plays, he was the axis of most of the team’s attacks from the Spanish capital and scored a great goal to put pressure on Barcelona at the top of the table.

In other times it would be necessary to set up an assembly in the middle of the area to take a penalty from Mbappé who this Sunday had the chance to redeem the mistake against Liverpool. However, the Frenchman preferred not to risk and let his confidence recover during the 90 minutes, with the ball at his feet.

With the score at 1-0 after Bellingham’s shot, Mbappé scored a great goal, the tenth of his personal tally in Spain. The curious thing was that he had practiced it during the warm-up of the match, although in the opposite goal. In the southern goal, where Real Madrid warms up, Mbappé looked for the far post, the left of goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, on several occasions, until his sights were calibrated. It was what he repeated 38 minutes into the first half when he got between the centre-backs, positioned himself for his skillful leg and took a shot that made a nice parabola to beat David Soria. The ball hit the post and went into the goal, making it 2-0.

Early celebration, without going to a fund, with arms crossed and receiving the affection of his teammates, as he had from the Real Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabéu.

From the first moment, when he appeared on the 360º video scoreboard and when his name was announced over the public address system. The Grada Fans also chanted the Frenchman’s name in a chant that was joined by a large part of the stadium and accompanied with applause.

A support that did not surprise Ancelotti, although the Bernabéu encouraged the Frenchman with the same verses as it did with true glories such as Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo.

“The fans understand the moment of the team and the players more than anyone. Mbappé could have done better against Liverpool and they have supported him, as was fair,” said the Real Madrid coach.

Mbappé scored and received the support of his fans, but the afternoon could have been even better if he had been sharper in the definition, his great owe so far this season.

And the Frenchman had two clear chances to score again in just three minutes, the 74th and the 77th. In the first, in an action that Mbappé likes the most: running into space. He managed to prevail, he dribbled past David Soria but, forced and heeled, he sent the shot wide.

And in the second, again in a one-on-one, he scored quickly but crashed the ball into David Soria; missing two clear scoring opportunities.

Furthermore, just before the end, he had another shot that missed and, far from resorting to whistles, the Real Madrid fans applauded Mbappé. A recognition that Ancelotti also had at a press conference.

“He has played very well. He has been active and dangerous, as always. He scored a very important goal to control the game well. “It’s what we want from him,” he pondered.

Again, patience reigning in the doubts about Mbappé’s performance.
