Mbappé scores again, Ancelotti awaits reinforcements

Mbappé returns and, if it ever left, so does the trust in Carlo Ancelotti, who, according to the Spanish media, has never been questioned by Florentino Perez despite Real Madrid's disappointing results in the initial phase of the championship.

Yesterday, meanwhile, the French ace made his mark, scoring Real Madrid's 2-0 win over Getafe, putting the controversy over his performance to rest for a while: after missing a penalty in the Champions League against Liverpool, Mbappé, freed by Jude Bellingham with a pass to the edge of the area, sent in a low shot that hit the inside of the post and went into the net in the 38th minute of the first half. A goal that means a lot to the striker whose numbers at the start of the season were making many Madrid fans turn up their noses, with an average of just over 0,5 goals per game, while with PSG the average was almost double (0,9). The goal scored yesterday by the Frenchman was his tenth (three from a penalty) with the Real Madrid shirt in 19 games; at Paris Saint Germain last year he scored 44 in 48 games. When Carlo Ancelotti, he will remain on the Real Madrid bench and in January he could receive a new right back: for the Spanish newspaper Marca, Florentino Perez's confidence "continues to remain high, Real Madrid is in good hands, those of Carlo Ancelotti". The rumors of a hypothetical agreement with Xabi Alonso for next season have also been dismissed. "The reality is that the dialogue between the Real coach and Perez is habitual. In victories and defeats". And in January Trent Alexander Arnold could arrive from Liverpool.
