Real Madrid's head coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke about the performance of his forward Kylian Mbappe ahead of the highly anticipated "El Clasico," which will take place during the 11th round of La Liga.
Ancelotti told AS:
We're happy with Kylian because he scores goals. He is important for the team, in the Champions League match against Borussia he played a key role in both goals. We're not rushing things - neither I, nor the team, nor he. It's clear that Mbappé will strive for great heights because he has all the necessary qualities for it.
The match between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid on October 26 and is set to kick off at 22:00 GMT+3. Barcelona currently leads the La Liga table with 27 points, while Madrid sits second with 24 points.
Additionally, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is reportedly interested in a move to Real Madrid, who are keen on signing the Norwegian player.
In a Champions League group stage match against Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois sustained a left adductor muscle injury. This was reported by the official website of the Spanish La Liga.
