Kylian Mbappé shone with a hat-trick in Real Madrid’s victory against Kairat Almaty (0-5) in the Champions League. The French striker, after the match, emphasized the importance of not forgetting the recent defeat in the Madrid derby against Atlético de Madrid.With his three goals, Mbappé has a total of 60 goals in the Champions League. Despite this individual achievement, the player highlighted the importance of collective success over personal records. The French striker, known for his demanding nature, admitted that he could have scored more goals in the match.“You must never forget what has happened. This is another competition, but you have to keep thinking about what happened at the weekend so that something like that doesn’t happen again,” said Mbappé.

Additionally, Mbappé praised the connection with Arda Güler, describing him as a young man with great quality and talent. He also joked about an assist from Thibaut Courtois, highlighting the goalkeeper’s contribution to the goal. This Champions League triumph allows Real Madrid to regain confidence after the defeat at the Metropolitano. However, Mbappé emphasized the need to maintain self-criticism to sustain the team’s competitive level.“A player like me, when he has five chances, has to score five goals. That’s why Real Madrid signed me. I always want more,” he said.
