Real Madrid's coach Carlo Ancelotti praised Kylian Mbappe's potential to match Cristiano Ronaldo's impressive record following his hat-trick against Manchester City. Mbappe's debut season has been triumphant, already amassing 28 goals in 38 games. He acknowledged the importance of winning titles over individual accolades, emphasizing a team-first mentality. While Real Madrid successfully advanced in the Champions League tie, Ancelotti expressed disappointment over needing an extra playoff round due to their league performance. As a young player, Mbappe's contribution to the game continues to rise, now hitting a milestone of 500 goal involvements.
He has the quality to reach his numbers, but he has to work, because Cristiano set the bar very high, but he is so excited to play here, he can reach Cristiano's level... But Mbappe is not the only one, we have many players who make a difference.
I was the Champions League's top scorer last year, but did I win it? No. I don't care about being the leading scorer... If I can score 50, all the better, but all I want is to win titles.
At just 26 years and 61 days old, Kylian Mbappé has now been directly involved in 500 goals across all competitions between club and country (358 goals + 142 assists). Prodigy.
Ancelotti was frustrated that had to go through an extra round after finishing outside the top eight in the league stage.
