Champions League: “I can do more”, Mbappé not fully satisfied with his debut with Real

A goal for his first in the Champions League with Real Madrid… Not enough to fully satisfy Kylian Mbappé and his appetite for champion. In difficulty like the rest of his team against Stuttgart this Tuesday evening, the French striker ensured the essential by scoring a goal, allowing his team to win (3-1) for the first day of C1 new formula.

But it’s still not the ideal debut for the French superstar. “I know I can do more. With every game I feel better and better and now I’m scoring goals! I’m happy here,” he told Movistar. “The game was difficult, but it’s the Champions League, it’s always difficult. (…) The Champions League has changed and it was important to win quickly to see if we can qualify quickly or not.”

Not mad at Endrick

“Kyks” could have even scored twice in the last action of the match but the young Brazilian Endrick decided to play it solo and also scored the first goal of his C1 career in Madrid colours.

Carlo Ancelotti, the Madrid coach, was amused by this situation. “He has balls (huevos in the original). Because it was a counterattack and he had the courage to shoot,” Ancelotti observed on Movistar + about the nerve of his young Brazilian striker. “The best solution was to take advantage of the three against one, but he was convinced. He did it very well. It was the most complicated solution, but it worked very well for him,” added the Italian coach in a press conference.
