Mbappes Adaptation Period Over, Says Ancelotti

Carlo Ancelotti warned Real Madrids La Liga rivals Saturday that superstar striker Kylian Mbappes adaptation period is now complete.

The French forward has performed inconsistently in the Spanish capital following his summer move from Paris Saint-Germain, but has still shown flashes of the magic which mark him out as one of the best players in the world.

Mbappe, 26, has 13 goals in 23 games for Real Madrid across all competitions, and Ancelotti expects many more to follow.

I think this adaptation period is over, now hes shown a good version of himself, he can still improve, but in the last games hes been good, hes over the little injury he had, the Madrid coach told a news conference.

Hes more motivated, more excited, happy to be here. His adaptation period, which he obviously needed, because everyone needs it, is over.
