Kylian Mbappe scored twice in the second half at the Bernabeu - the first goal after Federico Valverde's assist and the second from the penalty spot. These were also the French striker's first goals for Real Madrid after 3 "failed to score" matches in La Liga.
"My pressure is to adapt to the team. I have scored throughout my career, I will definitely score. Goals will come. Three games without scoring are too many for me, but it's okay, I have the confidence of my teammates" - the Real Madrid striker said.
Mbappe opened the scoring for Los Blancos against Atalanta in the European Super Cup last month, but then failed to score against Real Mallorca, Real Valladolid and Las Palmas in La Liga. In the 3 matches where Mbappe did not score, Real Madrid also drew 2 matches.
"There is no pressure, it's football. I have my qualities. I'm here to be Kylian. There was no pressure at all. I'm happy, I want to work," Mbappe said.
Mbappe had a total of nine shots against Betis but did not score until he put the ball into the opponent's net in the 67th minute.
"It was a great moment. I waited to score at this legendary stadium, the best stadium in the world. The fans have a lot of affection for me, even if I don't score," the Frenchman told Real Madrid TV.
Meanwhile, coach Carlo Ancelotti also has the same view with his student. "We have never pressured Mbappe to score. Kylian had a good match. He was very effective in the box, he took the chances, he worked hard.
Scoring is very important for him, but we appreciate the joint efforts of the whole team".
Coach Ancelotti also praised Mbappe's teammate Vinicius, who was fouled and led to a penalty and let Mbappe take the lead. "Vinicius was very generous when he let Kylian take the penalty. They have a good relationship."
Real Madrid are currently second in La Liga, 4 points behind leaders Barcelona before entering the international break.
