Kylian Mbappéinjured in his ankle during the European debacle against Arsenal, also sanctioned for his expulsion against Alavés, he attended from the heights of Santiago Bernabéu to the development of Real Madrid-Athetic that was played on Easter Sunday. By the 18th minute, the realization of the party focused on him, an image that was projected in the futuristic screens of the white temple. The reaction of Real Madrid moved between indifference … and the whistles.
Boars that, more shy, were also heard when he fell injured in front of Arsenal and had to be replaced. Boos that find their meaning in The self -destructive context in which Real Madrid seems plunged These last weeks, but that adopt paradox form when one reviews the Mbappé service sheet in its first season in Blanco.
They are already 33 goals in your accountthe same as the Christian legend in its 'premiere' in Real Madrid, only Iván Zamorano signed a season of debut in the Bernabéu more prolific than his and the registration (37) is even more than attainable, even without including in the sum the World Cup. It happens that Real Madrid has not signed Mbappé to score goals, but to mark them in the key matches. You should not win, you must lead. And the French still needs to hit the table.
Three finals, three goals
Trust Real Madrid in that transubstantiation takes place this Saturday, in the final of the Cup against a Barça with a deserved favorite label. It will be the fourth final of Real Madrid this season and Mbappé scored in the other three. He did it in the European Super Cup against Atalanta, in which it was his debut of Blanco; then in the Intercontinental against Pachuca; And finally in the Spanish Super Cup, although its early will remain in anecdote for the 2-5 with which Barça won Yeda.

It is, in short, the lord of the finals of this Real Madrid. But that is not enough for a Madridism that had the sky after consummating its long desired hiring. Already without the Champions in the menuwith very difficult LaLiga at the expense of that May 11 classic in Montjuïc, winning the Barça Cup final has become the minimum enforceable so that the course is not disappointing.
Almost a month without marking
The illusion, at least in relation to Mbappé, has more to do with the soccer player's hierarchy than with his performance in recent weeks. The last of his 33 goals The course marked it almost a month ago, in the league victory against Leganés (he scored two). An unexpected productive stop after a portentous winter, adding 19 goals between January, February and Marchannouncing an alleged take -off that has stopped dry.

An scoring blackout that has joined the ankle injury that should not take it out of ownership this Saturday and the crossing of cables that led to its expulsion against Alavés. The wild action against Antonio Blanco surprised at the club, in which he could cause a serious injury to the white excreheran. Symptom perhaps that things are not coming out as expected. This Saturday has the opportunity to reverse that destination. It is your time of truth.
