Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni remind Real Madrid to stay focused after El Clasico victory

Celebrations ran high in the Real Madrid dressing room after their hard-fought 2-1 victory over Barcelona in El Clasico.

But senior figures Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni made sure the team kept things in perspective.

Tchouameni addressed his teammates, saying, “We knew that after the Madrid derby, we had to give more effort. We did that. At the end, it’s just a game worth 3 points. Onto the next.” His words served as a reminder that, while the win was meaningful, there’s a long season ahead and no room for complacency.

Mbappe echoed the sentiment, telling the group, “Good, good, 5 points ahead, we have to keep going. The team is good, the team’s energy is top top. We have to keep it up like this, very good like this.”

His encouragement fueled the squad’s determination as they focus on their upcoming fixture against Valencia at the Santiago Bernabeu. The leaders’ measured advice set the tone: enjoy the moment, but stay hungry for more.
