Carlo Ancelotti praised Kylian Mbappe for starting to appear dangerous for the opponent's defense.

The French striker scored a stunning goal in Real Madrid's win over Getafe 2-0 on Sunday, December 1, 2024.

Ancelotti mengungkapkan bahwa permainan seperti itu yang diinginkan dari Mbappe, penyerang yang tengah menghadapi kritik atas pernyataannya baru-baru ini.

"(Mbappe) is dangerous as usual. It scored an important goal to help us control the game better."

"He had a chance in the second half. He played very active. That's what we wanted from him," Ancelotti said in a press conference after the match.

Criticism of Mbappe before being born after he scored only two goals in nine games before facing Getafe at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The pressure grew even more when Mbappe missed a penalty against Liverpool in the Champions League in the middle of last week. This caused Real Madrid to lose 0-2 at Anfield.

However, now he has scored in two consecutive league games for the first time since September 2024.

"(It's a relief, yes. With a score of 2-0, you have more chances to win. It was a spectacular, fantastic goal. The game (Mbappe) was great."

"The fans understand better than anyone about the moments of the team and the players. They support Mbappe, that's natural," said Ancelotti.

Mbappe scored Real Madrid's second goal in the 38th minute after Jude Bellingham opened the scoring through the penalty spot in the 30th minute.

The victory left Los Blancos only one point behind Barcelona at the top of the standings.

Real Madrid are now scoring 33 points and have one game more than their rivals.

Next, Real Madrid will travel to Athletic Bilbao in La Liga on Thursday, December 5, 2024, and Girona on Sunday, December 8, 2024, before returning to action in the Champions League against Atalanta (11 December 2024).
