Solskjaer: When You Have Mbappe, You Know You Can Win a Match at Any Time

According to fcinews, UEFA technical observer Solskjaer analyzed the match between Real Madrid and Inter and discussed the performances of Mbappe and Courtois.

Solskjaer said: “When you have a player as outstanding as Mbappe, you know you can win a match at any time.” He particularly emphasized the importance of shooting directly and discussed the finish for Real Madrid's 1-0 goal, in which the shot was taken before Bisseck could intervene: “He gets to the ball as quickly as possible. He slides toward the ball, and with his timing, he makes it impossible for the goalkeeper to know when he will shoot or where he will put the ball.”

Solskjaer also spoke about Courtois' performance, with the goalkeeper making crucial saves on multiple key occasions. Solskjaer believes that Courtois' presence often forces opponents to pursue the perfect shot in order to score. He said: “For opponents, it is like saying: ‘We have to aim for the top corner, the shot has to be perfect, otherwise the ball will not go in.’”
