Kylian Mbappe warns Real Madrid rivals he is ‘hungry for more’ after finally opening La Liga goal account as a ‘Galactico’

Kylian Mbappe has warned Real Madrid’s rivals that he is “hungry for more” after opening his Liga goal account for the Blancos at the fourth attempt.

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Mbappe is now showing that he can be just that, with a match-winning brace recorded in a 2-0 win over Real Betis. Those efforts came in front of an adoring new fan base at Santiago Bernabeu, with the 25-year-old forward proving what he is capable of.

• WHAT MBAPPE SAID

  Having broken his duck, Mbappe will be hoping that there are many more goals to come. He believes that will be the case and has told those preparing to cross his path that he is now “hungry for more” as he looks to enjoy a productive first season in the Spanish capital.

  WHAT NEXT?

  Mbappe became Paris Saint-Germain’s all-time leading scorer before severing ties with them as a free agent, with the target found on 256 occasions for the Ligue 1 heavyweights. Having committed to a five-year contract with Real, he will fancy his chances of becoming a centurion for them as well
