Mbappé: “We know what we always have to do: win”

Kylian Mbappé, star of the victory over Leganés after scoring a brace at the Santiago Bernabéu, summed up his feelings after the match: “A difficult match. After the break, it's always difficult because you get into a rhythm at club level and then you go away with the national team. But we know what we always have to do: win. We started strongly in the opponent's half and scored the first goal. Then we didn't play well and conceded two goals, but we knew that if we played well, we would score two goals. In the second half, we scored them and won the game. We’re really happy.”

“We've been working on that free-kick with the coaching staff for a couple of weeks. I knew that from that side I could shoot like that, I saw the space and asked my teammates if they would let me take it.”

Dedication to the coaching staff
“It's a team effort: with the group, the staff and everyone. We always say that we’re a family and this is a way of showing it.”

Equalling Cristiano's 33 goals in his first season.
“It's very special. The most important things are the things you do with the team, but to have the same number of goals as Cristiano is always good. We know what he represents for Real Madrid and for me. We always talk and he gives me a lot of advice. But as I always say, we have to win trophies.”

State of the team for the run-in
“We’re ready. We worked all year for this moment and we’re going to give everything we have to win as many games and titles as possible.”
