MADRID: Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti was delighted with Kylian Mbappe’s performance during their 2-0 La Liga win over Getafe at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The 25-year-old France captain scored Real’s second goal eight minutes after Jude Bellingham converted a penalty in the 30th minute.
Mbappe is now the club’s top scorer in the league this season along with Vinicius Jr who also scored eight goals.
After a lackluster performance in Wednesday’s 2-0 Champions League defeat at the hands of Liverpool, which included a second-half penalty miss, Mbappe came into full force against Getafe to score his 10th goal of the season in all competitions.
“He’s active, dangerous and scores great goals which is very important to control the game. That’s what we want from him.
“The fans understand more about the team and the players. They continue to support Mbappe after Anfield because it’s the right thing to do,” said Ancelotti.
The defending La Liga champions are now just one point behind leaders Barcelona with one more game to play.
