Villarreal boss Marcelino labels Real Madrid star ‘lethal’ after La Liga clash
Villarreal head coach Marcelino has moved to reveal his appreciation for the talents of Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé.
This of course comes after the Frenchman proved himself the decisive figure in the meeting between the two sides on Saturday night.
Real Madrid are fresh off securing a crucial three points at La Ceràmica, to keep the club’s La Liga title hopes very much alive.
After slipping into an early hole on the scoreline, Los Blancos had the aforementioned Kylian Mbappé to thank for a swift turnaround, and eventual 2-1 triumph.
After the summer arrival in Spain’s capital first lashed home from close range, minutes later, he was back at it again, on this occasion slotting an unstoppable finish into the top corner from the edge of the penalty area.
And one individual who could not help but be impressed by such exploits, as alluded to above, was Marcelino.
Speaking to the media in the aftermath of Saturday’s clash, Villarreal’s headmaster admitted:
“Kylian Mbappé was lethal.”
