Xabi Alonso Shares Powerful Insights on Dependency on Mbappé’s Performance

Before the match against Elche in La Liga, Xabi Alonso held a press conference to address various questions, including the growing reliance on Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid this season. With 18 goals in all competitions, the French striker has been pivotal to Madrid’s scoring efforts. When he doesn’t find the back of the net, the team struggles to create alternatives.

“We have analyzed the situation and we haven’t managed to score. It’s not just a problem for Kylian; it’s a team issue. We need to find other solutions and focus on set pieces… Goals will come, that’s for sure. Every away match is challenging. After working with the team for two and a half hours, explaining who we are and what we want, and understanding what we need both on a football and mental level, tomorrow will be the time to prove it.” Can Real Madrid prove that the team is more than just Mbappé?
