Lucas Vazquez supports Real Madrid teammate Kylian Mbappe following Real Madrid defeat
Real Madrid attacker Kylian Mbappe had a game to forget against Liverpool. He had an error-prone display and also missed a penalty, which could have made the score 1-1. Overall, Mbappe was far from his best and his Real Madrid career is yet to kick off in a positive direction. Lucas Vazquez, though, is confident that the Frenchman will eventually come good. He told the media after the Liverpool game (via Real Madrid's website):
We support him at all times. He's a top player and he's proved that for many, many years. We're delighted that he's with us now. He's a world class player, he shows that and he will show that again. We're delighted and the team is here to try to support him in everything.
