Kylian Mbappe backed to succeed at Real Madrid 'once he solves his emotional problems'

It hasn't been the easiest start to life at Real Madrid for Kylian Mbappe, but things have looked up in recent weeks. He has scored in each of his last three appearances (vs Girona, Atalanta and Pachuca), and will go for four in a row when Sevilla come to the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.

Before that match, former Sevilla striker Toni Polster spoke AS Diary about Mbappe, who expects to be a roaring success in the coming years.

“I think it's spectacular. It's true that he didn't start at Real Madrid at his best level, but when he solves his emotional problems and is fully fit, he will enjoy and succeed because he has everything you can ask of an attacker . He is a phenomenon and it seems that he will succeed for sure.”

Polster also sent a message to compatriot David Alaba, who has been out for more than a year with an ACL injury (although should be back next month).

“I want with all my heart. It may take some time after a year off, but Real Madrid we need him and we need him in the national team. I hope he can get back to his best. It would be a great joy for the Austrians.”
