Kylian Mbappé Marks La Liga Debut with A First Goal in Real Madrid’s Victory Over Real Betis

Kylian Mbappé Marks La Liga Debut with A First Goal in Real Madrid’s Victory Over Real Betis

The much awaited goals Kylian Mbappé scored in La Liga were well worth the wait.

In yet another enthralling Primera División clash at the Santiago Bernabéu, it was looking yet again as though Real Madrid and their new summer signing Cristiano Ronaldo would be left frustrated by the 90 minutes mark. A certain level of tension could be felt in the Betis camp, and the fans ’ enthusiasm for the game slowly descended into apprehension. However, this was soon replaced by an enormous burst of relief and happiness as Mbappé made the final touch to find the back of the net.

Mbappé only debuted in the 67th minute and was able to achieve a beautiful goal coming from Federico Valverde’s backheel. Before that, there were a couple of instances when he had lost some chances. They quickly transformed from tension to outright enthusiasm and the stadium exploded. In the eighth minute, Vinícius Júnior received a penalty and, self-assured, offered the French player the ball. Mbappé then scored with sheer elegance to make it 2-0 and silence any remaining concerns about the team’s chemistry. These quick goals were not only useful for deciding the outcome of the match in favor of Mbappé’s new team, but also highlighted its new player as a game changer.

Following the 1-1 stalemate against Las Palmas last week, Opta identified Mbappé as the player who had registered the highest number of shots in La Liga this season (17), while also having the widest gulf between expected goals (1. 8) and actual goals (1. It was an unkind reality based on little data, but it painted a bleak picture.

But a run like that had to stop, especially for a man who netted 256 goals for 308 games with Paris Saint-Germain. Just at that point of the match, Mbappé had a great chance after Valverde backheeled the ball towards the middle of the goal area and Mbappé with confidence, placed a low shot behind Rui Silva to make it 1-0.

Mbappé excels in that exact area but he squandered two great opportunities earlier taking his tally to 18 shots in the last two games. He was deployed once again as a No. 9 by Ancelotti, with Vinícius Jr. operating from the left flank. This time, however, there was a noticeable difference in the way they seemed to comprehend one another on the field, which made their movements more coordinated. They seem to be more compatible in the dynamic they carried out in the film. Even though Mbappé fails in terms of creating chances and shooting at goal, his movements to find space and to be dangerous are still apparent, helped by his attacking mentality.

“A bad relationship with Vinicius? It’s OK, we’re among the best, we’re famous, it’s normal for people to talk,” Mbappé shared his thoughts with reporters in the mixed zone following the match.

“The coach says that we both take penalties,” added Mbappe. “I don’t want to force the issue, it’s not my mentality.”

“The goal is titles,” Mbappe said. “I have to score in every game.”

During the Sunday night match, the audience cheered when Mbappé came on in the 84th minute of play and applauded when he was introduced in the stadium for the first time.
