The new defeat conceded by Real Madrid against AC Milan and its difficulties in front of goal earned Kylian Mbappé a lot of criticism. So much so that supporters no longer hesitate to demand his benching.
Real Madrid is in crisis. This was the observation of many Spanish media after the slap received Tuesday in the Champions League (1-3). A slap received only ten days after the Clasico humiliation against Barça (0-4). There are many criticisms and if Aurélien Tchouameni is singled out, Kylian Mbappé crystallizes many of the criticisms.
The former Parisian had several opportunities against the Milanese but the French world champion showed too much ineffectiveness. And his lack of effort in defensive replacement further tarnished his performance, which was severely noted in the Spanish media. On both sides of the Pyrenees, criticism is becoming more and more virulent.
Kylian Mbappé out of the eleven!
“Mbappé is more of a burden than anything else, he is unfortunately the number one responsible for Real’s poor start to the season”said Jérôme Rothen on RMC. “Kylian Mbappé is starting to look like a casting error. Real needed a No.9 to replace Karim Benzema and he clearly isn't one. Above all, he doesn’t seem to want to be one.”thundered the famous Madrid journalist Tomas Roncero.
And many voices no longer hesitate to call for his disappearance from the eleven. “As things currently stand, Real cannot do it with Kylian Mbappé at the forefront. We are three months into the competition and we have to face the facts: it is not working, continued Tomas Roncero. Carlo Ancelotti must accept it and change things. He must put Mbappé on the bench and trust Rodrygo or even Endrick. It is no longer possible otherwise. » Strong words to which many Madrid supporters subscribe.
