Former Sevilla striker Toni Polster has expressed his confidence that Kylian Mbappé will become a major success at Real Madrid, despite his slow start at the club.

Following the French forward’s performance against Sevilla on Sunday, Polster, who is highly regarded for his insight into football, stated that he believes Mbappé will eventually thrive at the Santiago Bernabeu once he overcomes his emotional challenges.

Mbappé made a high-profile move to Real Madrid in the summer after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain came to an end, leaving behind a legacy as one of the world’s most highly regarded players.

His move to Los Blancos was anticipated with much excitement, as many expected him to continue his meteoric rise to superstardom in Spain.

Despite the early setbacks, Polster, who enjoyed a successful career in European football, remains optimistic about Mbappé’s future at Real Madrid.

When asked about his thoughts on the current Real Madrid squad, Polster was quick to name Mbappé as his top pick. “I’ll stick with Mbappé,” he said.

“I think he’s spectacular. Indeed, he hasn’t started at his best in Madrid, but when he solves his emotional issues and fully adapts to the environment, he’ll be a success because he has everything you could want in an attacking player.”

Polster pointed out that Mbappé’s talent is undeniable, describing him as a “phenomenon” and confidently predicting that he will find success in Spain.

“He’s got all the tools to be a top player,” Polster added.

“It’s just a matter of time before he finds his rhythm and delivers at the level everyone expects of him.”
