MADRID : Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe said scoring his first LaLiga goals for his new club on Sunday was a relief after drawing a blank in their first three league games of the season.The France captain netted a second-half double to give the defending champions a hard-fought 2-0 win over Real Betis, earning them their second league win of the new campaign."I've been happy ever since I arrived here," Mbappe told DAZN. "People have given me a lot of affection here, even when I didn't score, which was for three games.
For some that doesn't seem much but for me it was a lot! "However, during the process, the club, the teammates, the fans ...
they have always been with me. Giving me confidence to score goals for this club."Coming off a disappointing 1-1 draw at lowly Las Palmas on Thursday, and still without midfielder Jude Bellingham due to a leg injury, the home side made another slow start against Betis.But they finally got on the scoresheet with Mbappe's brace - the first a close-range effort in the 67th and the second eight minutes later with a penalty after Vinicius Jr was brought down."It's a great moment.
I was really looking forward to scoring in this mythical stadium, the best in the world," Mbappe said."But the most important thing is the victory.
