Carlo Ancelotti hails Kylian Mbappé's best Real Madrid game

Carlo Ancelotti praised Kylian Mbappé's performance after the forward scored in Real Madrid's 2-0 win away at Real Sociedad on Saturday, saying Mbappé looked "fresher, more active" and is "improving a lot."

Vinícius Júnior opened the scoring at the Reale Arena in the 58th minute, converting a penalty after Sergio Gómez's handball, before Mbappé added another penalty in the 75th minute when Vinícius was fouled.

Mbappé now has three goals in five LaLiga games this season.

"[Mbappé] looks fresher, more active on the ball," Ancelotti said in his post-match news conference.
