Mbappe Shines on Left Wing at Real Madrid

Real Madrid's manager Carlo Ancelotti successfully repositioned Kylian Mbappe to the left wing, where he previously excelled at PSG, allowing him to break a month-long goal drought in a 3-0 victory against Leganes. Despite struggling with his new role as a center-forward since joining Real Madrid, Mbappe scored after a Vinicius Junior assist, highlighting the tactical shift's effectiveness. Ancelotti expressed confidence that Mbappe's familiarity with the left side would benefit the team, particularly as Vinicius returned from international duty. The tactical decision comes amid discussions about Mbappe's fit in the team, as his initial performances have not met expectations. The move was partly motivated by Vinicius's need for rest, following his participation in Brazil's World Cup qualifiers. Ancelotti's decision also aims to address the ongoing injury crisis ahead of crucial matches, including a showdown with Liverpool.
