Is there a fierce new rivalry brewing in Spain? Discover how the Real Madrid superstar brutally responded when journalists compared his defensive work rate to Lamine Yamal and Raphinha!
The battle between Real Madrid and Barcelona continues outside the pitch too. In one such interaction recently, French star player Kylian Mbappe was posed questions regarding his defensive abilities in comparison with his closest competitors from Spain.
The media highlighted how the Barcelona players, including Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, are working tirelessly in defence throughout their side of the field, while the Madrid attackers look worn out.
Mbappe Delivers A Brutal Response
Not one to mince words, Mbappe quickly shot down that idea with a witty remark about his main duty on the football pitch.
“I could play dumb and tell you that I score more than the two,” the striker confidently stated.
Whereas it is very true that the Barcelona attackers have been working wonders defensively this season, Mbappe is completely intent on scoring goals. It is his responsibility and that of his strike partner Vini Jr to break down defences, and at Real Madrid, the managers tend to let them run upfield to conserve energy for the deadly counter-attacks.
While all these issues continue to be debated, everyone is waiting with bated breath to see which of these attacking approaches will be crowned victorious by bringing more cups!
