Álvaro Carreras opened the scoring in the 65th minute with a brilliant individual move at the near post.
Mbappé sealed the win in stoppage time, calmly finishing after an assist from Brahim Díaz, bringing Real Madrid within just one point of league leaders Barcelona following their convincing win over Mallorca on Saturday.
“Words are not enough to describe Kylian,” Arbeloa said.
“We thought we would never see anything like Cristiano again, but he is on his own path.”
“We are very lucky to have him. He is the best player in the world at the moment.”
“As I said, Cristiano’s performances were extraordinary and Kylian still has a long way to go, but he has the talent to follow in his footsteps. Why not even surpass him? If anyone can do it, it’s Kylian.”
“The goal by Álvaro (Carreras) shows that he has a lot of talent in the attacking phase. He also scored a very beautiful goal against Valencia in the first match as well,” he added.
With this goal, Mbappé is currently enjoying the longest active scoring streak across Europe’s top five leagues, having scored seven goals in his last six La Liga matches.
He also leads the La Liga scoring charts this season with 23 goals.
