Thibaut Courtois Backs Mbappé
“Kylian Mbappé’s situation is like a bottle that has liquid inside, and it seems like it doesn’t come out,” Courtois said in a post-match interview.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has expressed his unwavering belief in Kylian Mbappé, likening the French star’s current form to a bottle filled with liquid struggling to pour out, only for it to eventually flow freely.
His comments come as Mbappé continues to regain his rhythm following a patchy start to the season.
“Kylian Mbappé’s situation is like a bottle that has liquid inside, and it seems like it doesn’t come out,” Courtois said in a post-match interview. “But suddenly, it all comes out. And that’s what’s going to happen to him.”
Courtois’ metaphor encapsulates the belief within the Real Madrid camp that Mbappé’s talent and form are not in question, despite recent scrutiny over his performances.
The French forward, who joined Real Madrid with great fanfare, has faced challenges in meeting expectations in the early months of the season.
However, Mbappé’s potential to turn things around is undeniable. The forward has shown glimpses of brilliance in recent matches, including an important goal in a hard-fought victory over Getafe.
His ability to create opportunities and unsettle defenders remains a vital asset for Los Blancos.
Courtois’ remarks reflect the collective trust and patience Real Madrid has for its star player.
The goalkeeper, known for his own consistency and resilience, emphasized the importance of supporting Mbappé during this phase.
“Players like Kylian thrive when they feel trusted and supported,” Courtois added. “It’s about confidence, and once he gets going, there will be no stopping him.”
This vote of confidence is shared by manager Carlo Ancelotti, who recently praised Mbappé’s performance, describing him as “active, dangerous, and critical to the team’s success.”
Ancelotti’s faith in the player underscores the belief that Mbappé will soon unleash his full potential.
As Real Madrid battles on multiple fronts in La Liga and the Champions League, the resurgence of Mbappé could be a defining factor in their pursuit of silverware.
His teammates, including Courtois, recognize the value he brings to the squad both on and off the pitch.
For now, all eyes remain on Mbappé as he works to prove that his moment to shine is imminent.
If Courtois’ analogy holds true, the floodgates of Mbappé’s brilliance may soon open, much to the delight of Madridistas worldwide.
