Striker’s Stellar Performance Brightens Season for Madrid

Impressive Goal Tally

The forward netted four times in the Champions League clash against Olympiacos last week, bringing his total to 23 goals in 19 matches across all competitions this season.

Call for Unity

In recent weeks, Mbappe has urged his teammates at Madrid to come together as the club faces challenges with its consistency under the management of Alonso.

Coach’s Praise

“He’s been exceptional on an individual level, significantly aiding the team,” Alonso remarked during a press briefing ahead of Wednesday’s encounter with Athletic Bilbao in La Liga.

“It’s not solely about Kylian scoring goals—though that is fundamentally important—but he also contributes in crucial areas such as leadership, influence, and support for his fellow players, which is pivotal day by day.”

Current Standings

Madrid finds itself just one point behind reigning champions Barcelona after a third consecutive draw in the league on Sunday against Girona, a team from Catalonia.

Speculation About Alonso’s Future

Reports from Spanish media have suggested that Alonso’s role as Madrid’s coach could be in jeopardy if the team’s performance does not improve.

The Basque coach acknowledged that he has had discussions with Real Madrid President Florentino Perez regarding strategies to enhance the team’s performance.

Positive Discussions

“The dialogues have been constructive and conducted in a positive atmosphere, focusing on the need to improve results—that’s what we’ve discussed,” Alonso stated, admitting that the team has been inconsistent this season.

“We’ve struggled with consistency in our gameplay, and we aim to deliver a better performance in our next match,” he added. “Our game quality has diminished, and we’ve experienced a slight decrease in energy.”
