Mourinho praises Mbappe

**Mourinho praises Mbappe's performance**

Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho has expressed his admiration for the team's French forward Kylian Mbappe. The expert said this in an interview with El Chiringuito.

"Mbappe is just an incredible player. He is so strong that sometimes I laugh when I watch him play in training. Kylian is a real fantasy - a top-level player," Mourinho said.

Recall that Mbappe moved to Real Madrid from the French club PSG in the summer of 2024. So far, he has played 103 games for Madrid, scoring 86 goals and providing 12 assists.

At the 2026 World Cup, Mbappe became the tournament's top scorer. He has 10 goals and 4 assists in 8 matches. The Frenchman became the first player in the history of football to win the Golden Boot at two consecutive World Cups (2022, 2026). He is also the top scorer in the history of the French national team (66 goals). He also won the World Cup in 2018.

For information, the 63-year-old Mourinho signed a three-year contract with Real Madrid in June. Mbappe is playing under the Portuguese coach for the first time in his career.
