"There will be games in which Mbappe is not going to touch the ball. What we expect from Kylian is that when he has one, the goal. Real Madrid is like that. Real Madrid need him a lot and there are games in which you have to score goals like against Atletico Madrid, Liverpool... They are teams that get behind and have to appear, work on those situations."
"He has to combine with Vinicius [Junior]. I think Vinicius, Mbappe, Rodrygo, although he doesn't play much, [Jude] Bellingham... they have to speak. One is there to score goals, another to give assists. We are not going to tell Bellingham to score goals because that's what Mbappe is for, nor to him to be the number 10 because that's Bellingham. They have to talk."
Kylian Mbappe has produced an exceptional scoring record for Real Madrid, with 43 goals in his debut campaign and 19 so far this term, leading the squad in shots and big chances. Conversion sits at 21.2% with 16 goals from 26 big chances. Karim Benzema calls for teammates to provide clearer support and communication so Mbappe can capitalize on decisive moments, especially in high-stakes matches against teams like Atletico Madrid and Liverpool. Benzema highlights the need for better combination play with Vinicius, Rodrygo and role clarity for Bellingham to maximize collective attacking output. Benzema also recalls winning LaLiga and the Champions League alongside Xabi Alonso.
