Former France striker Karim Benzema has warned Kylian Mbappé that Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti will not alter Vinicius Junior’s position for him.
Mbappé, who became Paris Saint-Germain’s all-time leading goalscorer playing on the left wing, has been shifted to a more central role since joining the Bernabéu last summer.
Speaking to El Chiringuito, Benzema advised his former teammate: “Mbappé is not a ‘9’. There’s a lot of pressure at Real Madrid; it’s not like PSG.

“My advice? He shouldn’t give up. I don’t think Ancelotti is going to change Vinicius’ position—he’s currently the best in the world in that role.
“Mbappé has to accept that he needs to be a ‘9’ now and let go of the left wing. He’s been excellent there, but now it’s time to excel in a different position.”
