At the mixed area, Mbappe it was extremely direct. “It's true that we played terribly badly and we have to change, because that's not possible,” said the visibly affected French star.
Kylian emphasized the big difference in the game compared to the previous match in the championship. “I don't have a clear explanation, but it wasn't the same as at Villarreal and that's the problem“, continued Mbappe. Four days ago, Real prevailed on the ground of the “Yellow Submarine”, score 2-0.
The Real Madrid forward admitted that the team was not considering a play-off run in the UEFA Champions League, an aspect that changes the club's plans for February.
“It hurts a little, because we would have liked to have this period in February to work and have time, but it will not be possible“, concluded Mbappe.

Kylian opened the scoring in the 30th minute on da Luz. Thanks to the achievement, he reached 12 in the current Champions League season and surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo's record for the number of goals scored in a single season in the group stage and the league stage respectively.
In the 2015-2016 season, Cristiano Ronaldo managed to score 11 goals in the groups, only in 6 matches, compared to 8 now.
I knew the level of the opponent and their coach. I told the players too. I couldn't get them to play at the level I wanted.
When the team does not perform at such a level, the responsibility always lies with me. I couldn't get them to approach the match the way I wanted.
