Beaten 3-0 in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League, Real Madrid is at the foot of the wall before the return match. And Carlo Ancelotti is counting on Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 to score, he who was excluded last Sunday in Liga.<\/p>\n

He will be expected at the turn in a competition that still flees him. Still looking for a first Champions and Ballon of Golden League, Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 proved with his hat -trick against Manchester City in February in the Champions League barrier that he was able to bring down a giant almost alone. This Wednesday, during the quarter-final return to Arsenal, he will once again be expected at the turn, especially since he remains on a failed exit in the league last weekend.<\/p>\n

Sunday against Alav\u00e9s, the French international (26) was directly excluded for a nasty sole and is exposed to several suspension matches. A sanction which does not concern the European Cup, therefore the captain of the French team will indeed be on the lawn of the Bernabeu to help the Madrids to make a new comeback.<\/p>\n

33 goals this season<\/h2>\n

“Mbapp\u00e9 is bruised, disappointed by what happened. He trained very well yesterday (Monday), he was very motivated. We need him because we cannot just defend, we have to score goals,” said Carlo Ancelotti at a press conference. “He has already scored a lot since the start of the season, and we will need his goals more than ever (Wednesday).”<\/p>\n

Goals, Mbapp\u00e9 knows how to score it, since he remains the top scorer in Real this season (33 goals in 49 games in all competitions). With a deficit of three goals to go up, the number 9 faces a major challenge to maintain his team, and his quest for personal glory, alive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
