Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has labelled superstar Kylian Mbappe as the best centre-forward in world football.
After a struggling to gel with the likes of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, Mbappe has looked more comfortable in a Los Blancos jersey despite playing in the striker’s role.
The Frenchman has netted 10 goals in his last 14 matches, including a brace against Las Palmas on Sunday evening.

Ancelotti waxed lyrically about the World Cup winner and feels he silenced any doubts about fitting in at the Santiago Bernabeu.
“He is the best centre forward in the world, there were doubts about whether he could play there or whether he would be better on the left.
“He is a great striker, he is very good in the centre, more so than on the wing, his running is unique and he can take better advantage of it inside.”
