Despite the disappointing result, Ancelotti was quick to rally behind his star player, offering words of encouragement in the aftermath of the match.

“Mbappé has all of our support,” he said. “He is an extraordinary player, and we have no doubt that he will soon turn the situation around. We just need to be patient with him.”

The manager also praised Mbappé’s overall performance, acknowledging that the young forward has been adapting well to the team’s tactics and style of play since joining Real Madrid.

Ancelotti emphasized that Mbappé’s character and skill are unquestionable, and it’s only a matter of time before he regains his sharpness and continues to shine for the team.

Mbappé has been one of the most exciting talents in world football, and his move to Real Madrid has been widely regarded as a significant moment in the club’s future.
