Kylian Mbappe believes he is finally getting up to speed with his Real Madrid teammates after scoring in a 3-0 La Liga win at Leganes on Sunday.
Mbappe, who had played in a central attacking role since joining from Paris St Germain, went four games without scoring in all competitions before netting the opener against Leganes.
The 25-year-old was moved back to his preferred position on the left and combined well with fellow attacker Vinicius Jr, who set up Mbappe’s goal.

“Vinicius and I read each other very well. I’ve got a great relationship with him and he’s a great player,” Mbappe told Real Madrid TV after the win.
“I think I put in a good performance. I’m starting to get up to speed with my teammates. I can play in every position and I’m ready to help the team and give my all. It’s the story of my career. I play on the right, on the left, in the middle and with two up top. It doesn’t matter to me. I want to help the team and score goals,” he said.
Real is second in the league, four points behind Barcelona, who has played one game more. The leader drew 2-2 at Celta Vigo on Saturday.
