Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe's goal against Manchester City in the first leg may have come from a scrappy finish but there was nothing fortunate about his hat-trick in the return leg at Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.
may have come from a scuffed finish, but there was nothing fortunate about any of his three in the return at Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday that sealed a 6-3 aggregate success over the English champions.
But he has now scored 27 goals in all competitions so far this season after a 'slow start' to life in Madrid. It's safe to say he is no longer adapting, but thriving. Mbappe is now starting to look more like the feared frontman who scored 256 goals in 308 appearances during six years at PSG. Mbappe struggled to adapt to the central striker role entrusted in him by Ancelotti, with Vinicius Jr preferred in his favourite left-wing role.
"I don't think anyone has ever doubted his talents, there was just going to be an adaptation period for him joining this club," said former England defender Joleon Lescott on TNT Sports.
