Kylian Mbappe is “like a bottle of ketchup”

A World Cup winner, Mbappe did score on his start for Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup win against Atalanta. But he didn’t score again in the first three games of the 2024–25 La Liga season.

WHAT JOSELU SAID

Last time out, Mbappe scored two goals in a win over Real Betis. Joselu told AS that it was always going to take a while for the new “Galactico” at Santiago Bernabeu to really shine: “I don’t pay much attention to it, honestly.” There is no question in my mind because I know what Madrid is like and what Mbappe can do. Mbappe is like ketchup. When you press it at first, nothing comes out. Then it all comes out at once. Two goals have already been scored against Betis, and more will come. Mbappe and everyone else around him will make history at Madrid.
