A reporter confronted him without holding back ⚽🔥
He asked him why he and Vinicius don’t drop back to help defensively, while Dembélé at PSG and Raphinha at Barça do. Mbappé didn’t dodge the question; he answered it with a comparison that is already making the rounds on social media: “I can play dumb and tell you that I score more goals than the two you mentioned, and they have to score more goals to be like me”.
Then he softened his tone. He acknowledged that all of Real Madrid, himself included, must improve defensively to concede fewer goals. But the phrase had already stuck: every player is different, and the Frenchman made it clear what he believes his role is within the team 🎙️👀
