Post-Match Comments
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti was pleased with his side’s second-half display: “We were too slow in the first half, the second half we were much more active, there was more movement, much faster with the ball.” Speaking about Mbappe, Ancelotti said: “He’s a spectacular forward, very fast, moves well without the ball, attacks in behind, he had three or four chances created with his movement. In this position, he will score like he always scores.”
Indeed, Endrick too received applause for his debut something that Ancelotti himself noted: “(Endrick) has got a lot of potential, and for his goal, he showed his quality. He is a striker who does his work inside the box. In small spaces, he is very dangerous.”
Implications for La Liga Standings
But with this victory, Real Madrid still trails their eternal rivals Barcelona by two points, as they had already won on Saturday against Athletic Bilbao. Real Madrid hopes to build on this victory and start clawing up the table in the La Liga league standings as they once more aim seriously at another title.
