JAKARTA - Kylian Mbappe said he was happy to follow coach Xabi Alonso's instructions - and worked hard without a ball - to help the team win trophies after scoring two goals in their 2-1 win in the Champions League against Marseille on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, early morning WIB.
Timothy Weah put the visitors ahead in the 22nd minute at the Santiago Bernabeu, before Mbappe scored a penalty seven minutes later to equalize to 1-1.
Substitute Dani Carvajal - replaces Trent Alexander-Arnold who was injured after just five minutes - was sent off for heading goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli in the second half.

Despite playing with 10 players, Real Madrid were still able to secure three points. Mbappe scored another penalty in stoppage time to score 50 goals in 64 appearances for Los Blancos.
"I feel very good. I don't think of being one of the team leaders. I think of myself, Kylian, I think of the team."
"Xabi wants us to grab the ball back faster. We have to understand what we did and then we are determined to do it because we want to win."
"I did what the coach asked. He wanted a tall block, snatched the ball in a high area, and then we could create chances."
"We will get used to it and it will help the team win trophies. I want to help the team, be it scoring goals, pressing, or providing assists," Mbappe told Movistar.
Mbappe has scored six goals this season, four in La Liga and two in the Champions League. Xabi Alonso also agrees that the French player has a significant impact on the team.
"He had a tremendous impact. The team found the spirit of the Champions League in Bernabeu. The expulsion (Carvajal) could actually be avoided, it's a shame, we have to talk about it," said Alonso.
Real Madrid will next play the La Liga match against Espanyol on September 20, 2025. Currently, they lead the league standings with perfect points from four matches.
