Speaking to the press on Monday, Alvaro Arbeloa addressed the case of the Frenchman, Kylian Mbappé.

During the two-legged clash between Real Madrid and Bayern in the Champions League quarter-finals, Kylian Mbappé found the back of the net. However, the captain of the French national team couldn't prevent Real Madrid's elimination.

While the Frenchman may not have delivered two absolutely perfect performances, Alvaro Arbeloa believed his forward was beyond reproach. "I can't fault anything about Mbappé's actions. He played an outstanding match. His defensive sacrifice was immense. We watch the games back several times afterwards, and I'm satisfied with Mbappé's performance. He was a constant threat to Bayern, and that's the Kylian Mbappé we all want to see," the Madrid coach said at Monday's press conference.
