Yesterday, Real Madrid further closed the gap on Spanish La Liga leaders Barcelona (now only 4 points away) winning the championship match 3-0 on the pitch of little Leganes. A match whose dance was started by Kylian Mbappéauthor of the opening goal at the end of the first half, a goal that put the road downhill for him and his team.
Among other things, Mbappe has returned, as he hasn’t done for some time now, to occupy the position of left attackera role that teammate Vinicius Junior (yesterday placed on the right) plays more often. The Real Madrid coach also focused on these aspects during the post-match press conference, Carlo Ancelotti: “We changed the position of the attackers a bit: Mbappé remained on the left wing, where he did well, and Vinicius inside. They did very well and Vini’s play in the goal that opened the scoring should be highlighted.”
And again, Ancelotti continues and concludes specifically on Mbappe: “He is more used to playing there and today, for the team and for him, it was the best choice. Because playing away from goal wears more and Vinicius returned on Thursday, while Kylian trained here and was fresher. He did very, very well. And he scored, thanks to a fantastic assist from Vinicius. Little by little they are both improving.”
