The third defeat in five C1 matches this season, conceded on Wednesday by Real Madrid against Liverpool (2-0), suggests problems which are not limited to the Mbappé case alone.
From the point of view of Real Madrid fans, the first part of the season and the performances put in by their team are probably not what they expected. Second in the Spanish championship with four points behind (but one game less) over FC Barcelona, the Merengue club is especially in great difficulty in the Champions League. Three defeats in five outings and players who are overall quite far from their best level. For some observers, this is the problem.
If Kylian Mbappé is in the sights of critics and has crystallized the majority of discontent since his arrival last July, Madrid's difficulties are not limited to him alone. This is the analysis delivered by Stéphane Guy, for example, a few minutes after the Madrid setback at Liverpool (2-0). “I don't understand how we can watch Liverpool-Real and say to ourselves that Mbappé is going to be the providential man of the match. They are playing perhaps the most in-form team in Europe at the moment. Collectively, Real Madrid did not exist. »
Real in danger in the Champions League

The Team continued in this direction. “Real as insipid as that over 90 minutes in the Champions League, I haven't always seen it anyway. » And to make a comparison with Paris Saint-Germain who are also experiencing big problems in the European Cup this season with three defeats, a draw and only one victory on the clock after five days.
“We talk about PSG in France, but there Real Madrid have played five matches, they have three defeats in the Champions League. They have lost to Milan, Lille and now Liverpool. […] Obviously there is a Mbappé problem, it is not a question of hiding it, but there is a Real Madrid problem. » It is up to Carlo Ancelotti to find the solution to get out of the dangerous situation in which his Real finds itself, only 24th and last potential qualifier for the rest of the Champions League, three days before the end of the league phase.
