Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said Monday he wants striker Kylian Mbappe to focus on scoring goals over pressing to help the team.

Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe should prioritise scoring over pressing to support the team, manager Carlo Ancelotti said on Monday as he backed Jude Bellingham amid his goalless campaign.

For Benito, it's a decision he supports, insisting on El Larguero: "If Mbappé scores 40 goals and is being super decisive... he's like 007, he has a license not to run, like Rolando Nazario or Messi, who at certain stages of the season would save himself from running as much as possible to stay fresh.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said Kylian Mbappé is "not affected at all" by media speculation -- dismissed by the forward's representatives as "totally false" -- linking the player with a rape allegation in Stockholm.
