Still so prolific at the start of the season with Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé is also the European striker who walks the most on the pitch!

Kylian Mbappé is preparing his return to competition with Real Madrid. Injured in the left knee during the French team’s meeting in Turkey (0-1), when striking to break the deadlock two weeks ago, the star striker of the Merengues followed individualized training to be operational in the coming days. Even if his escapades with his girlfriend caused talk among Madrid supporters…

José Mourinho’s team resumes on Saturday evening (9 p.m.) against Villarreal at the Bernabéu, before returning to the Champions League by facing AS Roma on Wednesday in the Italian capital (9 p.m.). Note that Real continues with the reception of Leipzig the following week, still in C1, before the first Clasico of the season against Barça, at Camp Nou, on October 25.

Kylian Mbappé, 83% while walking

The Merengues are still disappointing collectively despite the “Special One” taking over. Mbappé’s goals continue to save the team but the player’s activity, particularly on the defensive level, is still the subject of debate. One statistic is terrible for the captain of the Blues: he is the second striker who walks the most behind Brian Brobbey of Sunderland in the five major championships.

The account DataScout explains as follows: “Mbappé walks, then he kills you! 83% of his distance below 15 km/h, he is the penultimate of the Big 5 attackers just ahead of Brobbey. But when he leaves, it’s for real: 18 meters per sprint on average (4th in the Big 5)”. The prodigy from Bondy, double Pichichi in La Liga, top scorer in the Champions League last season and top scorer in the World Cup, got off to a good start with 8 goals in as many games (including one in C1 against Inter).
