"We thought we wouldn't see anything like Cristiano, but [Mbappé] is on track,"
"Right now he's the best player in the world for sure,"
"What Cristiano did looked like something out of this world and impossible to match, as if nobody could come close. Kylian has a long path, because Cris was here for many years. But Kylian has the qualities to follow his path. You never know. If anyone can do it, it's Kylian."
Real Madrid won 2-0 at Valencia with Álvaro Carreras scoring in the 65th minute and Kylian Mbappé adding a second in stoppage time, leaving Madrid one point behind Barcelona in LaLiga. Mbappé has 38 goals this season — 23 in the league, 13 in the Champions League and two in the Copa del Rey — and 81 goals in all competitions since joining Madrid in summer 2024, but he has yet to win a major trophy with the club. Álvaro Arbeloa praised Mbappé's qualities and likened his potential trajectory to Cristiano Ronaldo's 450-goal legacy. Arbeloa also started academy right-back David Jiménez; Trent Alexander-Arnold replaced him in the 76th minute while Dani Carvajal remained an unused substitute as both continue recovering from injury.
