Thibaut Courtois, Real Madrid’s experienced goalkeeper, has come out in support of Kylian Mbappe, predicting that the French superstar will eventually find his footing at the Bernabeu.
Courtois, who has faced similar challenges during his own time at Real Madrid, believes that Mbappe’s struggles are temporary and that he will soon explode onto the scene. “It’s similar to what happened to me,” Courtois said. “The demands of the Bernabeu and Real Madrid are not easy. You know where you’re going and what awaits you, but it’s not always easy.” ¹
Despite Mbappe’s impressive goal-scoring record, he has faced criticism for his performances at Real Madrid. However, Courtois is confident that Mbappe will soon silence his doubters. “What’s happening to him is not due to a lack of professionalism or desire,” Courtois said. “It’s the same thing that happened to me at the beginning. It’s not about wanting less or not trying, there are simply times when things don’t work out.” ¹
Courtois’ prediction is a welcome boost for Mbappe, who has been working hard to adapt to his new surroundings at Real Madrid. With the support of his teammates and the experience of players like Courtois, Mbappe is well-placed to overcome his current challenges and fulfill his potential at the Bernabeu.
As Real Madrid prepares to face Athletic Club in their next La Liga match, all eyes will be on Mbappe to see if he can build on his recent performances and start to make a more significant impact for his new team. ²
