"Best central striker" - Ancelotti evaluates Mbappé's performance in the latest game
In the 20th round of La Liga, Real Madrid confidently defeated Las Palmas at home with a score of 4-1. After the game, the coach of "Los Blancos" shared his thoughts on Kylian Mbappé's performance.
Details: 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.
Quote: "Well, he is the best central striker in the world. We can also use him on the flank, but there is no better number 9 in the world than Mbappé," said the Real Madrid coach.
It’s worth noting that this was Mbappé’s second brace in a Real Madrid shirt. The last time he scored two goals in a match was on September 1, during the fourth round of La Liga. 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.
Reminder: Real Madrid has reclaimed the top spot in the La Liga standings. Ancelotti's team capitalized on yesterday's slip-ups by Barcelona and Atlético Madrid.
