JosĂ© MarĂa GutiĂ©rrez, better known as Guti, has shared his insights on the current state of Real Madrid and the potential impact of Kylian MbappĂ© in a recent interview with AS. The former midfielder expressed optimism regarding the club’s prospects for the 2024-2025 season, predicting that they will secure multiple trophies. Guti firmly believes that under the guidance of coach Carlo Ancelotti, the team will clinch both La Liga and the Copa del Rey. “Real Madrid will win La Liga, and I think they will also take home the Copa del Rey,” he stated confidently.
However, when it comes to the UEFA Champions League, Guti’s tone shifts to one of caution. “I hope Real Madrid wins everything, but I think it will be difficult in the Champions League. It’s not just about Real Madrid; Barcelona and AtlĂ©tico are also facing tough competition from some very strong teams.” This acknowledgment of the heightened competition in Europe reflects a realistic assessment of the challenges ahead.
The Role of Mbappé
On the topic of Kylian MbappĂ©, Guti emphasized that while the French superstar is undoubtedly a key player, Real Madrid should not become overly reliant on his contributions. “Should there be a dependency on MbappĂ©? That shouldn’t be the case,” he remarked. “Real Madrid has fantastic players like VinĂcius JĂşnior and Jude Bellingham who can and must score plenty of goals. They contribute significantly to the team’s play, but the club shouldn’t hinge solely on Mbappé’s goals.” His comments highlight a balanced perspective on squad depth and individual brilliance.
Admiration for Mbappé
Despite his caution regarding dependence on any single player, Guti did not shy away from praising Mbappé’s exceptional talent. He acknowledged the forward’s potential to break records, stating, “If he is going to break Ronaldo‘s record of 59 goals with Real Madrid in 2013? That will happen, no matter what. We are witnessing an incredible version of MbappĂ©. He is a level above everyone else in this team.” Guti believes that Mbappé’s leadership on the pitch is crucial for Real Madrid’s success this season.
With a blend of optimism and realism, Guti’s insights provide a compelling glimpse into what fans can expect from Real Madrid as they navigate both domestic and European competitions. As they aim for silverware this season, can they rise to the occasion and fulfill these lofty expectations?
