Player to watch – Kylian Mbappe
There was plenty of criticism for Mbappe during the opening months of his Real Madrid career, but he’s certainly hit form of late. The Frenchman has scored eight in his last five appearances to move onto 22 for the season in all competitions.
Mbappe scoring early in each half in Europe
The forward’s three Champions League goals so far for Real Madrid, have all come in either the opening 15 minutes of the first half or the 15 minutes immediately after the break. He scored after just 10 minutes against Atalanta in December.
