For Ancelotti, Mbappé is close to regaining his stride! The Italian coach also commented on the match: *“We played our style. The game plan? It was solid.
Our goal now is to integrate the best 24 players and compete as we always do. We will get there. The first half was satisfactory. We defended well as a team, the transitions were effective, but we lacked clarity in the final pass.
That will improve. I was pleased with the team’s performance; we stood up to Europe’s toughest opponent.”*
Carlo Ancelotti: *“Mbappé has all our support. He will soon reverse the trend.”*
