Kylian Mbappé, one of Real Madrid’s key players, showered teammate Jude Bellingham with compliments after the Englishman’s standout performance in the team’s 2-0 victory over Girona at Montilivi. Bellingham, who contributed a goal and an assist, was instrumental in securing a win that moves Real Madrid closer to the top of LaLiga EA Sports.

Mbappé on Bellingham’s Brilliance

Speaking to Real Madrid TV, Mbappé lauded Bellingham’s talent and contributions:
"It’s incredible to play with a great player like Jude and to play at Real Madrid alongside so many players of quality. It’s a great pleasure. Jude had a fantastic match, and Brahim and Arda also helped a lot in attack."

A Crucial Victory in the Title Race

Mbappé emphasized the significance of the win, especially with Barcelona drawing against Real Betis, leaving Real Madrid just two points off the top with a game in hand:
"This was a very important match, and we needed the win. We faced a strong team at home, a team that dominates possession. We started well, and with the goals, we were able to take control."

The French forward, who also scored in the match, highlighted his dedication to the team’s success:
"Beyond my role, I try to help the team in every game and play with personality to win."

Eyes on the Champions League

With a crucial Champions League clash against Atalanta looming, Mbappé shifted focus to Europe. Real Madrid needs a win after their recent defeat in the competition:
"It’s the Champions League, and when you play it, you always face strong players and teams. We have to win because we lost the last match away. We’re going to compete and aim to win."
