Present in the stands at the Santiago Bernabéu during Real Madrid's 3-1 victory over Villarreal, Rafael Nadal once again demonstrated that he remains a loyal supporter of Los Merengues. Closely following his team's performance, the Spanish tennis legend praised the solidity of Madrid's collective, but above all, the sparkling form of Kylian Mbappé, who was once again decisive. The French striker, who scored a goal and delivered a flawless performance, continues to justify his status as a global superstar.

Speaking to Real Madrid TV after the match, Nadal did not hide his admiration for the French phenom:

"When Kylian was signed, we knew exactly who we were bringing in. We brought Mbappé here thinking we were signing the best player in the world, and he is proving it."

Words that reflect the complete satisfaction of the multiple Roland-Garros champion, clearly impressed by the Frenchman's immediate impact in the famous white shirt.

"He’s going to fight to be the best player in the world, surrounded by a great team. Personally, it brings me immense pleasure to see him succeed the way he does," Nadal added, evidently won over.

The Real Madrid striker is indeed posting impressive stats: 14 goals and 2 assists in just 10 matches across all competitions. This lethal efficiency perfectly symbolizes the attacking transformation of Real under Xabi Alonso.
