Kylian Mbappé shines as Real Madrid defeats Pachuca 3-0 to win intercontinental cup
Kylian Mbappé continues to impress since joining Real Madrid. After a minor muscle issue that kept him out of the derby against Rayo Vallecano, the French forward returned to action with a bang. In the Intercontinental Cup final against Pachuca (3-0), Mbappé showed he’s already in top form, scoring a brilliant goal and providing an assist for Rodrygo’s second goal.
The match, held at Lusail Stadium, wasn’t the toughest test for Mbappé, but his efficiency on the field was crucial for his team. While Real’s collective play made the difference, with Vinícius Jr. once again proving to be a standout, the former PSG star didn’t dominate individually, preferring to let his teammates shine in building the game. However, his contributions in key moments were vital.
Following the victory, Mbappé shared his ambitions for the upcoming season. “The most important thing is the titles. Goals help, but what matters most is the team. We’ve won two of the seven trophies possible, and we want more”, he stated. The Frenchman is determined to win every possible title this season, from La Liga to the Champions League, including the Spanish Supercup and the Club World Cup. With two trophies already in the bag, his thirst for success seems insatiable.
Mbappé’s Madrid adventure is off to a strong start, and his performances so far this season leave no doubt about his personal and collective ambitions.
