He Real Madrid receives a Barcelona which is in top shape. Ancelotti, however, tried to make it clear yesterday in the press room that victory will depend more on exploiting the virtues of his own team than overshadowing those of his eternal rival. One of the best assets for the coach is Kylian Mbappé, who is very motivated waiting for his first Classic as a Real Madrid player. If this past Tuesday he experienced his first great European night with the comeback against Dortmund, tomorrow he makes his debut against Barça and hopes to take another step. He dreams, first, of a triumph, but also of being the great architect of a triumph, as happened in other duels against the Blaugrana as a footballer of the PSG.
Ancelotti addressed in the press room the role that Mbappé can play in this first Clásico for him. The reality is that he has not missed his appointment with the goal in this first stretch of the season because he has scored eight goals, but both the club and the coaching staff know that Kylian is still in the process of landing and that over time he will contribute much more to the team. “Little by little he is looking for his best version, we are in no hurry, neither I nor the squad nor him, I think we are already satisfied with what he is doing, obviously he will do it better because he has all the qualities to do it better“, pointed out Carletto in the press room so as not to get carried away by excessive euphoria.
Mbappé, for his part, is anxiously waiting for the game to start. He is motivated by Barça, without a doubt, because he knows that they are a great rival and it is a match that is seen all over the planet. As a PSG player, the Barça team brings back good memories for him. Above all, that hat trick in the win at the Camp Nou, but also last year, already with his suitcases prepared to come to Madrid, he also scored and left Barça behind in the Champions League.
The coach once again focused on what he asks of the French forward.
Mbappé’s debut in a Classic It is undoubtedly one of the attractions of the great duel. Ancelotti knows that Kylian plugged in is a destructive weapon for an opponent who plays with their defense so advanced. ANDNot only Vinicius, but also the Frenchman, will try to jump over Flick’s line to gain an advantage in front of the rival goal.
Recovered after the break
The white striker has taken advantage of the break to recharge his batteries. He asked Deschamps not to go with the national team because he was not in the best condition after recovering from a slight muscle injury and has taken the opportunity to work in Valdebebas with a special plan and take a few days of vacation. And in his first game with Madrid after the break he scored a great goal against Celta in Balaídos, but he still needs a full game against a special rival. And that comes tonight.
As happened with other galacticos such as Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham or Cristiano in his debut against Barça, There is also enormous expectation around Mbapé to see what he is capable of. However, the club does not want to put added pressure. They know that it is the first of many games against Barça and that it will make history in the game that arouses the most interest around the world.
