Perfect comeback: Mbappé scores in FIFA Intercontinental Cup final

On Wednesday, December 18, Real Madrid faced Pachuca in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final. Kylian Mbappé made his much-anticipated return from injury in this match and did so in style.

Details: The French forward opened the scoring in the 37th minute, converting an assist from Vinícius Jr. His performance marked a truly successful comeback after recovering from his injury.

Earlier, it was reported that Mbappé had assured Real Madrid’s medical staff and coaching team that he was ready to play in the final. Mbappé expressed his readiness, insisting he is in excellent physical condition.

Reminder: Mbappé’s style of play at Real Madrid has differed from what we saw at PSG. This was indirectly confirmed by Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti, who openly stated that the Frenchman still needs time to adapt to the football of his new team.

Former Real Madrid player Christophe Dugarry had previously criticized Ancelotti for his decision to bring Mbappé to the Madrid squad.
