Real Madrid: José Mourinho praises Kylian Mbappé after his hat-trick

José Mourinho praised Kylian Mbappé’s performance after the French forward scored a hat-trick on Wednesday night in Real Madrid’s win over Real Sociedad in La Liga. Mbappé was once again decisive for the Merengues, who won thanks to three goals from their centre-forward and one from Vinicius Junior.

Asked after the match about Mbappé’s display, Mourinho did not hold back in his praise. The Portuguese coach particularly acknowledged the French international’s exceptional qualities. “I do not like comparing players, but this one is incredible,” the Madrid coach said. Mourinho also referred to the recent World Cup, won by France, and said he was happy to see Mbappé making history with his national team.

Already highly anticipated for his second season in the Real Madrid shirt, Mbappé is underlining his importance in Mourinho’s project. With this hat-trick, the Frenchman once again carried Madrid’s attack and sent a strong message to his La Liga rivals.
