The French forward scored a brace in the match and even found the net a third time, though the goal was disallowed for offside. Following the match, Carlo Ancelotti stated that Mbappé is the best central striker in the world.

“Mbappe is the best centre forward in the world, there should be no doubt whether he could play in that position” – Ancelotti told a press conference on Sunday.

“He is a great striker who is very good playing in the centre, rather than on the wing, because that way he can make the most of his unique runs, with speed and technique.”

With these goals, Mbappé has taken his tally across all competitions this season to 18, ranking just behind Robert Lewandowski in the La Liga top scorers’ list.

Real Madrid has reclaimed the top spot in the La Liga standings.

“In times of difficulty, it is necessary to be self-critical and positive in order to move forward” – Ancelotti said.

“There is criticism and criticism. The booing at the Santiago Bernabeu hurts, because the fans are not happy, but it motivates.”

“It was an useful wake-up call for the team, who have put in a good performance.”

“Football is like that, but I’m still a bit confused because I’ve heard that we play very bad football but here we are, LaLiga leaders.”
