""I feel really good. I don't think about being one of the team's leaders, I think about being myself, Kylian, I think about the team," Mbappé told Movistar. "Xabi wants us to win the ball back more quickly. We have to understand what we do, and then we're determined to do it, because we want to win.""
""I do what the boss asks me to do. He wants a high block, to win the ball high up, and then we can create chances. We'll get used to it and it will help the team win trophies... I want to help the team, if it's scoring goals, pressing, or assists." "He has an incredible impact," Alonso said. "The team found some Champions League spirit at the Bernabéu... The sending off [of Carvajal] was avoidable, it's a shame, we'll have to talk about it.""
Real Madrid came from behind to beat Marseille 2-1 in the Champions League as Timothy Weah opened the scoring and Kylian Mbappé converted two penalties. Trent Alexander-Arnold left early with an injury and was replaced by Dani Carvajal, who was later sent off for a headbutt on goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli. Mbappé reached 50 goals in 64 Madrid appearances and has six goals this season. Mbappé said he follows Xabi Alonso's demand for a high block and quicker ball recovery and is prepared to press, score, or assist to help win trophies. Alonso praised Mbappé's impact and called the sending off avoidable.
