Mbappé’s early struggles in Spain had drawn criticism from fans and pundits alike, especially after a missed penalty in Real Madrid's loss to Athletic Bilbao earlier this month.

However, his commanding performance against Sevilla suggested a player regaining confidence and rhythm.

Mbappe's warning after Sevilla win

Speaking after the game, the former Paris Saint-Germain star acknowledged his initial difficulties but expressed optimism about his adaptation to the team.

“We played very well. We've been getting much better over the last few months. It's always difficult to play against Sevilla, and we were a bit tired after the trip to Qatar. But we gave everything in the first half and played very well right from the off," he told Real Madrid TV.

The Frenchman’s performance also highlighted a deeper connection with his teammates, which had been lacking in the opening weeks of the season.

"I think we now know each other better. I've joined the team, and that changed a lot of things.
"The settling-in period is over, as the coach says. I feel very comfortable in the team and I play better with the others on the pitch. The team is playing much better."

Looking ahead

With this performance, Mbappé has not only silenced his doubters but also provided a glimpse of what Real Madrid’s attack could achieve at full strength.

As the season progresses, his resurgence could be pivotal in the club’s pursuit of silverware.
