Capello Says Ancelotti Helped Mbappe Overcome His Slow Start at Real Madrid
Legendary Italian coach Fabio Capello has shed light on how Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti played a key role in helping Kylian Mbappe find his form after a rough start.
The French World Cup winner arrived at Madrid last summer after a long transfer saga following his dominance in France with PSG. Expectations were sky-high, but his early days at Valdebebas were far from smooth. He failed to score in his first three La Liga matches and managed just one goal in Madrid’s first five Champions League games.
However, Mbappe has since turned things around. He has scored six goals in his last four Champions League appearances and netted eight times in his last nine La Liga games.
Speaking to the press, Capello credited Ancelotti for understanding Mbappe’s needs and guiding him back to his best. “He has helped Kylian Mbappe a lot, and that is his merit. The most important thing for a coach is to understand his players and where he wants to go. If he doesn’t, it’s a failure. Ancelotti understands him perfectly,” Capello said.
He also dismissed early criticism of the French star, adding, “Many people doubted him, but they didn’t understand anything. Now, you can see he is an extraordinary player at the highest level.”
Mbappe has now scored 27 goals and provided four assists in 39 appearances across all competitions this season, proving once again why he is one of the best in the world.
Captain of the Morocco national team, Achraf Hakimi, has shared his thoughts on the controversial topic surrounding AFCON 2025.
It can be noted that the team was accused of taking towels belonging to opposition goalkeepers during matches, which sparked criticism from fans and observers, with many calling for consequences.
Hakimi expressed his disappointment over the situation, stating “I don’t feel proud about the image we gave off with the towels. Even though that happened, the team did well in the competition. We showed respect for our opponents in the tournament.”
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
