Real Madrid: Alvaro Arbeloa backs Kylian Mbappé | OneFootball

Kylian Mbappé

During Friday's press conference, Alvaro Arbeloa spoke out on Kylian Mbappé's powerful words following the clash against Monaco.

Last Tuesday against his former club, AS Monaco, Kylian Mbappé was on fire. He netted a clinical brace to help his team secure a resounding 6-1 victory.

Speaking to the press on Friday, Alvaro Arbeloa backed Mbappé’s comments ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League match. "I hope this is the turning point we needed. Kylian said it, this was our moment to show we were up to the task and to prove what we wanted to do. That’s important, and the players did it, with effort and humility. I hope everything keeps going this way," he explained in remarks reported by Le Journal du Real.

Alvaro Arbeloa also addressed the situation of Rodrygo, whose name has been making headlines in transfer rumors for weeks: "Rodrygo will be in the squad. Winning is the most important thing, beyond any system. I want to see the character and mentality we showed the other day. That perfectly represents what Real Madrid is all about. Fighting and going forward together. These are our values, and we must never abandon them."
