Kylian Mbappe reveals conversations with Real Madrid teammates following his hat-trick performance
On a Saturday night, Kylian Mbappé etched his name in Real Madrid's history books, netting a hat-trick against an unspecified opponent. The French forward, in his iconic style, bagged one in each half before sealing the three-goal triumph with a penalty kick in the dying minutes. As per tradition, Mbappé was presented with the match ball as a memento.
When the cameras from Real Madrid TV captured Mbappé holding the ball post-match, viewers caught a glimpse of messages scrawled on it by his jubilant teammates. Among them, left-back Fran Garciá penned "To many more, Kiki. You’re great," while Fede Valverde labeled him a "Crack." Jude Bellingham, on the other hand, showed his appreciation by scribbling "Congrats, my nine," referring to Mbappé's jersey number.
In the French corner, Rodrygo Goes wrote "Great, straight to Paris," and Brahim Diáz added "Ooh la la, bro." Perhaps the most intriguing note came from club captain Luka Modric, who wrote "pressing monster" – a testament to Mbappé's improved work ethic this season, following early-season criticism for his lacking in that department.
This treble was Mbappé's 20th career hat-trick, his first for Real Madrid, and his third in international competitions. Of the twenty, two were scored during his time at AS Monaco, including one in December 2016, and fourteen for Paris Saint-Germain.
After the game, Mbappé emphasized the collective team effort, expressing his joy at the win rather than his individual accomplishment. Speaking to Real Madrid TV, he mentioned the pressure that came from Atletico Madrid's result. He further added, "I want to win titles and the league, which is the most important thing for me."
Following his impressive performance, Mbappé will be looking to carry his form into the upcoming UEFA Champions League fixture against Brest.
