Mourinho Backs Mbappé After Real Madrid Fans Boo Him Despite UCL Goal
José Mourinho has defended Kylian Mbappé after some Real Madrid supporters booed the French forward despite his goal in a 2-1 Champions League win over Inter Milan. Mbappé scored the opening goal and reportedly moved into joint-fifth place on the competition’s all-time scoring list. Critics had questioned his defensive contribution, but Mourinho said a player who scores more than 40 goals cannot be considered a problem. The Portuguese coach praised Mbappé’s work rate, saying he defended relentlessly even when tired. Mbappé scored 42 goals in 44 matches for Madrid last season, but the club’s trophyless campaign has increased pressure on him and the team.
