Mbappe, who joined Real Madrid, made an impressive debut for the club, netting a goal for Real Madrid in their 2-0 victory over Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup.
But the French forward is yet to score a goal in the La Liga as he failed to find the back of the net in the first two matches, which was against Mallorca and Valladolid.
"His last goal was on Aug. 14th. It has only been two weeks since, that is no reason to worry. Neither we are not worried as a club, nor him,” Real Madrid Manager Ancelotti said during a news conference.
