Champions League: I want goals from you – Ancelotti tells Mbappe

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has asked Kylian Mbappe to focus on scoring goals over pressing to help the team.

Ancelotti stated this on Monday during a press conference ahead of their Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

According to him, the central striker position within his team has not changed.

Mbappe has already netted eight goals for Madrid in 12 games across all competitions this season.

“I prefer that (Mbappe) scores goals than he presses,” Ancelotti said.

“The central striker position in our team has not changed, I ask him the same I asked of Karim (Benzema, who left in 2023). To be well positioned and to be ready every time we get the ball back to make a rapid transition.”
