"Mbappe is very important, that goes without saying," he said. "His goals are fundamental, but that's not all. His personality is among so many intangible things. Like teamwork, unity. The goals, it's a natural talent he possesses."
"I was taking it much more calmly than you might expect. I'm not a rookie, and it's a long road. And it's not all sunshine and roses. You have to be critical and hold yourself to high standards, but we know there's always the next game. And that we have to look ahead."
Kylian Mbappé scored all four of Real Madrid's goals in a 4-3 Champions League win at Olympiacos in Athens. Olympiacos goals came from Chiquinho, Mehdi Taremi and Ayoub El Kaabi. The four-goal haul was the fourth time Mbappé has scored four or more in a match and raised his season total to 22. He now holds the record for most away hat-tricks in European Cup/Champions League history (four) and became the first Madrid player to score four in a major European away match. Madrid twice led by two goals, conceded comebacks, and faced tense finale. Recent form included three games without a win; focus remains on staying critical, calm and looking ahead while valuing Mbappé's contributions beyond goals, such as personality, teamwork and unity.
