Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has expressed confidence in Kylian Mbappe’s potential to become a star at the Santiago Bernabeu, despite the Frenchman’s slow start since joining from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2024.
Mbappe, 25, who finally completed his long-anticipated move to Real Madrid, faced challenges in meeting high expectations. However, he showed promise by scoring in the 38th minute of Real Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Getafe on Sunday, December 1. Jude Bellingham’s penalty secured the win for the reigning LaLiga champions.
Courtois likened Mbappe’s journey to untapped potential, saying:
“Kylian Mbappé is a player with great quality. This is like a bottle that has liquid inside, and it seems like it doesn’t come out, but suddenly it all comes out. And that’s what’s going to happen to him.”
Real Madrid’s persistence in pursuing Mbappe paid off this summer after years of unsuccessful attempts. As the season progresses, fans and teammates alike are eager to see Mbappe fully integrate into the team and realize his immense potential.
