Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said today that his team's player Kylian Mbappe is increasing his level of play from game to game and that the French striker wants to take on more and more responsibility in the game.

Mbappe joined Real Madrid as a free agent from Paris Saint-Germain this summer. He didn't fare well at first, but is now the team's top scorer with 16 goals in all competitions.

"Is Mbappe more and more of a leader? I don't know, but I think every day he tries to take on more responsibility in the game. We can also see his attitude off the field, he is engaged, available and humble. As I said a month ago, the adaptation period is over and his level is increasing in every game," Ancelotti said at a press conference ahead of the league match against Las Palmas.

The Italian coach admitted that the 2:5 defeat to Barcelona in the Super Cup final was his responsibility.

"I assure you that we are alive and that we will fight to the end in all competitions," he stated.

Ancelotti said that defender David Alaba is close to returning to the field after more than a year out with a knee injury.

"Alaba is fine, he played 40 minutes yesterday and he feels good. He will be in the team, he will not be in the first team, but he could play a few minutes," Ancelotti said.

Real Madrid will host Las Palmas on Sunday at 16.15:20 PM in the XNUMXth round of the Spanish championship.
