Xabi Alonso has praised Kylian Mbappe, saying the French superstar is vital to Real Madrid beyond his impressive goal-scoring abilities. Mbappe recently scored four goals against Olympiacos in the Champions League and has a total of 23 goals in 19 games this season.
Alonso highlighted Mbappe's leadership, influence, and teamwork, stating, “It's not just about goals for Kylian, which in the end is the most important thing, but he does other hugely fundamental things like leadership, influence, helping his team-mates, and that's so important day to day.”

Mbappe has been urging Real Madrid to gel as a team, and manager Xabi Alonso will be hoping his star player can inspire them to a strong finish to the season. “He's been very good individually, helping the team a lot,” Alonso said ahead of Wednesday's La Liga clash with Athletic Bilbao.
“It's not just about goals for Kylian, which in the end is the most important thing, but he does other hugely fundamental things like leadership, influence, helping his teammates, and that's so important day to day.”
Real Madrid are struggling, trailing Barcelona by a point after a third consecutive La Liga draw, this time at Girona. Speculation is ripping through Spanish media that Xabi Alonso's future is on the line if results don't pick up pronto.

Alonso has had a chat with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez about getting the team's form back on track, admitting, “I've spoken with the president, we always speak about the situation and we want to turn it around.”
“The conversations are very positive, in a good tone, wanting to improve the results and that's what we've spoken about,” said Alonso, who conceded Madrid have been erratic this season.
“I think we've lacked consistency in our game, and we want to play better in the next one,” continued the coach.
“We've lost a bit of quality in our play, we've lost a little bit of energy.”
