This will do him good! This Sunday, Kylian Mbappé scored on the 14th day of La Liga. Mute for four games, the Real Madrid striker found the fault on the Leganés pitch. Served by Vinicius Junior, he only had to push the ball into the empty goal.
The action took place in the 43rd minute. French international Eduardo Camavinga came to press Leganés captain Adria Altimira high. He was unable to free himself and lost the ball. Jude Belingham stole it from him then threw Vinicius Junior into the area. Off-center on the right side, the Brazilian could have shot. But he preferred to deliver an offering to Kylian Mbappé.
Real can approach Barça
The French team striker then scored his seventh league goal of the season. He celebrated by taking Vincius Junior in his arms. A nice collective achievement for Madrilenians who need to reassure themselves.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team also has the opportunity to approach Barça in the La Liga standings. The Catalan club has 34 points after 14 matches. He was held in check this Saturday against Celta Vigo (2-2). Real Madrid have 27 points but are only playing their 13th match of the season against Leganés.
