Mbappé Defends His Work Rate: “I Score More Than Them”

Kylian Mbappé has responded to criticism of his defensive work rate ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League match against Inter Milan. Asked whether he and Vinícius Júnior should press and track back more, compared with Barcelona’s Raphinha and PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé, Mbappé said every player has a different role. He added that he could point to his superior scoring record, but acknowledged he still has room to improve. Mbappé scored 25 goals in 31 league appearances last season and finished as the Champions League’s top scorer with 15 goals. However, critics continue to question whether Madrid’s attacking stars contribute enough defensively when the team is out of possession.
