Kylian Mbappé, deliverance!

Kylian Mbappé will have waited until the fourth day of La Liga to open his account but in the championship with Real Madrid. And the moment when I waited more than an hour for the captain of the French team to shake the Santiago Bernabeu nets, to untangle the Merengues from a complicated situation against Betis Seville (2-0).

Held in check by a vexing opponent, Carlo Ancelotti’s players got away with a clever backheel from Federico Valverde, to send Mbappé into a duel with Rui Silva. On the left and on the ground, the former Paris Saint-Germain striker slipped the ball under the Portuguese goalkeeper and can celebrate as he likes to do, with a slide accompanied by an imperial posture (1-0, 67th).

Forced to come out of their entrenchments, the Andalusians exposed themselves to counterattacks and committed the irreparable on Vinicius Jr at the start of the last quarter of an hour. This means that there is no discord or leak about the identity of the shooter. It is Mbappé, summoned to take responsibility by the Spanish press, eager for him to assert himself as the team’s star 9, who executed the sentence by taking Silva off guard (2-0, 75th).

Before that, it was still complicated…

The same thing happened to me when the value was low for Mbappé when he finished finding the fault. In the game and in the relationship between the two partners, this is confronted with the aura of Betis once again highlighted by real difficulties. Sometimes forgotten by his comrades, sometimes unable to be placed in the right place, the best scorer in the history of PSG spent a good hour looking for himself and probably preparing himself mentally to suffer new criticism. Especially after one or two misses that we would never have imagined him capable of when he wore the Paris jersey… Rather than lowering his head, the former Monegasque waited for his time and this offering Valverde to unlock his confidence.

Carlo Ancelotti is very proud and makes a good profit for his new year with some compliments in the last 84 minutes of the match, according to the applause of the Bernabeu.

Kylian Mbappé can now immediately follow up with Real Madrid to try to build on this evening that he will not forget. We join the French team to play the conflicts with the Blues, against Italy and Belgium. A son returns, will once again be expected, observed and even scrutinized. This is the lot of players who arrived at Real Madrid with the label of superstar and Mbappé must prove himself worthy of the constellation of stars who have worn the jersey of the captain’s club.
