With Real Madrid beating Valladolid 3-0 at home in La Liga, Relevo wrote about Mbappe's play in the match.

Although he tried to pull back and cooperate with his teammates in this game, it did not achieve the desired effect. He had several clear chances, but none were converted into goals, and his involvement outside the box was relatively limited. The pairing figures with Vinicius were alarming: they managed to match only three times in 85 minutes. There wasn't much coordination with Rodrigo either: they made just five passes in dangerous areas.

The front of the team has been concentrated on the left side, and this tactical arrangement has not effectively used the characteristics of three attackers. There was obviously more coordination between Vinicius and Rodrigo (10) and less between Mbappe.

On the other hand, Mbappe's touch in the front three is also the least, his advantage in attack has not been fully reflected in the game, and his performance on the pitch has been limited.

With the upcoming challenge against Las Palmas, Mbappe's chances of linking up with the team will once again be tested. While the process of integrating a star player is never easy (Carlo Ancelotti had similar problems with Gareth Bale), the club and manager are confident of finding the best tactical combination.
