Aurelien Chuameni has hit back at criticism of Kylian Mbappe ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League last-16 second leg at rivals Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. Real Madrid go into the Metropolitano with

an advantage having beaten Atletico 2-1 in the first leg at the Bernabeu last week, with goals from Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz. Mbappe had been without a

goal in four straight games before finding the net again in Madrid’s 2-1 La Liga win at Rayo Vallecano on Sunday to take his tally to 29 goals in all competitions.

“It is incredible why people always talk about ‘a difficult day’ for Mbappe,” Chuameni told a news conference on Tuesday.

“Just because he hasn’t scored in the last two games? We know that if he scores one or two tomorrow everyone will be saying, เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย ‘He’s a top player,’” he said.

“For us, on a professional level, the most important thing is the next game. Kylian doesn’t need any advice. He’s scored a lot of goals and he’s going to score a lot more. “

Honestly, Kylian wants to win and score goals in every game, so there’s no extra motivation,” added Chuameni.

“He wants to be in the best shape all the time. Nothing has changed.”
