Real Madrid – Barcelona, ​​the long-awaited Clasico takes place this Saturday evening. Before Kylian Mbappé's first appearance against the Blaugranas with the merengue jersey, Carlo Ancelotti reminded everyone that he is waiting for his star with bated breath.

This Saturday night, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona will face off in one of the most exciting Clasicos in recent years.

After a mixed start to the season marked by extra-sporting matters, the Frenchman has the opportunity to definitely make an impression if he performs well. In a press conference, Carlo Ancelotti spoke about his striker's situation before insisting on the fact that he expected a lot from him. “We are happy because Kylian Mbappé scored goals. He was very present in the first two goals against Dortmund. We are already satisfied with what he is doing but he will do better because he has the qualities to do it. But we are in no hurry. For the Clasico, he has played several times against Barcelona and knows what he has to do. His teammates have a lot of confidence in his qualities and I think he will bring as always. His way of managing the pre-match is simple. I think he has great confidence in his qualities. I think he will contribute tomorrow, as he always does”, said the Italian coach.
