Real Madrid: what Benzema wants to see from Mbappé | OneFootball

Benzema et Mbappé

In a recent interview, Real Madrid legend Karim Benzema revealed what he expects from Kylian Mbappé, the new superstar at the Santiago Bernabéu.

This season, Kylian Mbappé is delivering jaw-dropping numbers. The Real Madrid striker has already racked up 16 appearances and 18 goals across all competitions. Praising his fellow Frenchman, Karim Benzema laid out his expectations for Mbappé's impact in Madrid.

"He’s much better this season. Scoring goals is nothing new for him. He was already doing it at PSG and he’ll keep finding the net in Madrid, maybe even more so. He’s the kind of player who will always score. But what we expect from Kylian is for him to step up when Madrid needs him most. There will be matches where Mbappé barely touches the ball. But if he gets a chance, he has to put it away. That’s how it is at Madrid. You get games, like against Atletico Madrid or Liverpool, where teams sit back and defend, and he has to adapt to that. Because Madrid relies on Mbappé in those moments—to win the Champions League and other trophies. I believe he can do it, but only with the help of his teammates. He can’t do it alone," KB9 told AS daily on Monday.
