Kilian Mbappe Explains Why He Was Benched

Real Madrid forward Kilian Mbappe has explained why he was left on the bench during the team's 2-0 win over Real Oviedo.

'Not playing in El Clasico was very frustrating for me. That's life,'

'I'm 100% ready now. The reason I didn't start is that I was the fourth striker for the coach. I had Mastantuono, Vini, and Gonzalo ahead of me. Of course, I wanted to start, but it's the coach's decision and I have to respect it. I'm not upset,' said Mbappe.

The French player also commented on his relationship with Arbelloa.

'I have no problem with Arbelloa. I have to respect him. I have to accept the coach's philosophy and work harder to get ahead of Vini, Gonzalo, and Mastantuono in the team and the competition.

'I don't watch the coach's press conferences. I have French TV at home, not Spanish,' said the Real Madrid forward.
