Kylian Mbappe affirms that Real Madrid must be protected

Mbappe responded to the situation that arose this week regarding alleged complaints from players about Xabi Alonso.

“I see the team doing well, although there are things to improve. People talk a lot outside, but it's normal when you play for a club like Madrid. We have to protect ourselves, protect the coach and all the staff. We have to stick together because we're going to be playing for everything this season,” he said on Movistar+.

“It was very important to win again. We went three games without a win, and that's a long time for a team like us. Today it was important to win to continue with the objective of being among the top eight, which is the main thing in this first part of the Champions League,” he declared.
