Mbappé reliance? Over 60% of Real’s goals come from the forward | OneFootball

Kylian Mbappé is fundamental to the attack of Real Madrid. That’s why, even with an alternative lineup last Wednesday against Talavera, from the 3rd division, in the Copa del Rey, the Frenchman took to the field.

By finding the net twice in the match, Mbappé reached 27 goals scored, in addition to providing six assists this season. In total, the Frenchman has participated in 33 of Real Madrid’s 50 goals, which represents 66% of the team’s total.

Xabi Alonso, the team’s coach, explained why he chose the Frenchman for the lower-level match:

“He was decisive in both goals because Kylian has this ease for scoring goals. The third was fundamental and that’s why we kept him on the field and that’s why he started.”

Alonso’s position is under threat, and the choice to play the star may have been a move to try to save his job, which is on the line.
