Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe expressed his delight after scoring twice in their 4-1 victory over Las Palmas on Sunday night. Mbappe commented: "This was an important match for us. We were aware of Atlético's defeat and Barcelona's draw yesterday, so we were determined to secure the win. Although we started poorly by conceding an early goal, the team's response was exceptional. We sought out space and played with speed and quality."
He continued, "We scored plenty of goals and are pleased with our performance. Hopefully, the Madridistas enjoyed today's game. This win was crucial, and now the competition is in our hands as we're in first place."
Reflecting on the fan support, Mbappe added, "It's always a dream to receive a standing ovation at this stadium. I'm really happy, I've adapted well to the team, and I can play my style. Everyone enjoys the way we play. All Real Madrid players are leaders because this is the best team in the world. We need to stay united to achieve great things. Winning is a must at Real Madrid."
On David Alaba’s return, he remarked, "It was amazing. I knew him as an opponent, and he's a fantastic player. It's been tough for him, but he's an incredible person, and we're all very happy for him. He has a lot of quality and will be a key player for us."
