Kylian Mbappé has declared his readiness to score more goals for Real Madrid after helping the Los Blancos to a 2-1 win over Marseille, Softfootball reports.
The French striker stepped forward to score a penalty after Geoffrey Kondogbia brought down Rodrygo to level the match after Marseille went in front through Timothy Weah and in the second half, Mbappe ensured victory for Real Madrid with his 50th goal for the club and it was another penalty goal.
During an interview with Real Madrid’s official media, Mbappé was asked how many goals will he score this season and he replied:
As many as possible. I don’t set limits for myself. I just want to help the team: if that means scoring, then scoring; if it means pressing, then pressing; or if it means assisting, then assisting. I want to do whatever the team needs me to do.
The World Cup winner with France admitted it was a very tough test against Marseille especially after they were reduced to 10-men with the red card to Dani Carvajal. Interestingly the Spanish international was a first half substitute for new signing, Trent Alexander-Arnold, who left the pitch in the first half with a muscle injury.
It’s a pleasure to be here and experience another Champions League night. It was a bit of a tough night because we went down to 10 men for a while, but we brought that Champions League spirit to the Bernabéu. It’s always like that at the Bernabéu, whatever happens. We always expect to win. Today we won and we’re very pleased.
I ‘m feeling really good. I don’t think too much about being the leader, I just think about being myself. I want to help my teammates and the team. These things come naturally, you can’t ask for them. I feel good in the team. There are lots of players younger than me and I hope I can help them do their best. I want us to move forward together in the same direction to win trophies.
Kylian Mbappé has begun the season in fantastic, scoring in every competition he has played in so far.
