'More humble and silent' - How Kylian Mbappe has turned Real Madrid life around after horror start in Spain off back of PSG move

LaLiga

Real Madrid

Las Palmas

<p>After facing a hefty amount of criticism in the aftermath of his move to Real Madrid, Mbappe's stock is finally on the rise, and French icon Emmanuel Petit is backing his compatriot to prove every single one of his haters wrong. The 26-year-old has netted in four of his last six La Liga outings and the ex-Paris Saint-Germain star helped Los Blancos <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-real-mallorca-jude-bellingham-supercopa-final-clash-barcelona/blte028c791a3374f2d" target="_blank">reach the Spanish Super Cup final </a>in Saudi Arabia on Thursday night.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Petit believes Mbappe's attitude adjustment has played a key part in his recent upturn in form. Whereas at PSG he had to lead on all fronts and play the role of celebrity, at Madrid he is in a team full of global superstars. It <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kylian-mbappe-victim-greatest-enemy-football-galactico-real-madrid/blt12395543f8792c34" target="_blank">was never going to be easy settling in alongside Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham</a> and Co but he has started to form a relationship with them on the pitch that has led to Madrid's revival after a slow start to the campaign. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to<a href="https://discasino.com/" target="_blank"> <em>DisCasino</em></a>, Petit said: "Kylian Mbappe can definitely get silence his haters if he wins La Liga. He had to bare the responsibility at PSG and for France because he's the leader of those teams. But, joining Real Madrid, who won La Liga and the Champions League last year, it was never going to be easy.</p><p>"But, step by step, Mbappe is improving and settling. There have been problems off the pitch too, but that seems to be coming to an end. He had too much presence on social media too, now he's being a bit more humble and silent, focusing on his form at Real Madrid. His passion to be the best is showing and he has the ability to stand out."</p>

WHAT PETIT SAID

<p>Another blockbuster Clasico is on the cards this weekend as Madrid take on Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final. Mbappe will be hoping to leave his mark on the fixture having been on the receiving end of a humiliating 4-0 loss to Barcelona in La Liga back in October.</p>
