"Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé wields significant influence over the team at the outset of the new season"
In a thrilling Champions League encounter, Real Madrid emerged victorious against Olympique Marseille, thanks in large part to the outstanding performance of Kylian Mbappé.
Mbappé, who has been playing at the top of his game as of late, converted a penalty kick in the 81st minute to give Real Madrid a 2-1 lead. This decisive goal came after he had equalised the score at 1-1 in the 29th minute, following a series of opportunities he created throughout the match.
The French international, who has scored 50 goals for Real Madrid, was accurate in his passes and lay-offs, demonstrating his all-round ability. However, it was Geronimo Rulli, the goalkeeper for Olympique Marseille, who kept Mbappé from scoring more, making several saves and benefitting from a few close calls with the crossbar.
Xabi Alonso, the coach of Real Madrid, praised Mbappé's performance, describing him as having a leader's soul and a huge impact on the team. Alonso also commented on Vinicius Junior's non-inclusion in the game, stating that "no one should feel offended."
Mbappé himself expressed satisfaction with his personal performance and the team's victory. He stated that he doesn't set limits for himself but aims to help the team, a sentiment that was evident in his relentless pressing from the start of the season.
The "Kylian Mbappé!" chants were the only notable ones heard from the Madrid fans during the game, a testament to the adoration he has earned since joining the club. Mbappé can once again thank his teammate for carrying them out of unexpected trouble during the game, ensuring that Real Madrid secured a hard-fought but crucial victory.
