In a midweek performance, the French forward excelled, contributing all four goals in Real Madrid’s 4-3 win over Olympiacos in the UEFA Champions League on Match-Day 5. This effort propelled him to the top of the competition’s scoring charts with nine goals, three ahead of runner-up Victor Osimhen.
An interview shared by football analyst Fabrizio Romano on his official X account featured Alonso’s insights:
Aside from the goals, I love so many things Mbappé does for us. His personality, his influence on the players, the little things he does. He’s very, very important to us.
At the age of 26, Mbappé has achieved over 400 goals for both club and country and is now pursuing records held by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, regarded as two of the greatest players in football history.
A World Cup champion with France, Mbappé was narrowly denied a second title by Lionel Messi’s exceptional performance in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. He continues to shine as he has recently been appointed as the national team captain and remains one of the most formidable forwards in global football.
As Real Madrid faces Girona this Sunday, Mbappé and his teammates aim for victory, sitting just one point ahead of second-placed Barcelona after 13 LaLiga matches this season.
