Kylian Mbappé has been in great difficulty with Real Madrid since his arrival. It's going from bad to worse since the Frenchman hit rock bottom in Liverpool on Wednesday evening. The reception of Getafe in La Liga now becomes a crucial meeting for him.
Arriving at Real Madrid as a king, Kylian Mbappé almost became the plague victim of all of Spain. The Frenchman struggles to score goals and especially to convince in the game. Over the last two months of competition, he has only scored three times: two in La Liga and one in the Champions League. On Wednesday evening, his current difficulties were exposed for all to see. In Liverpool, Mbappé was transparent in the game. In addition, he missed a penalty which could have allowed Real to snatch a draw in England. Right after the match, the Spanish press was unleashed on him and put him under pressure for the next matches.
Mbappé must strike hard against Getafe
The former PSG striker must react as quickly as possible, particularly during the La Liga match this weekend. Real Madrid host Getafe at the Bernabeu. An important meeting in more than one way for Mbappé and the Merengues. Indeed, FC Barcelona was beaten by Las Palmas on Saturday. The Madrid rival can therefore come back to just one point behind the Catalans with a game in hand. An unexpected scenario after the debacle during the Clasico last October (0-4).
Mbappé is therefore expected at the turn, having to put in a big performance in the game as well as in front of the opposing goal. The Frenchman no longer has an excuse since he will be able to play on the left side of the attack with Vinicius' injury. Mark believes that he can even “ reset the counters » this Sunday towards supporters and journalists. At Real Madrid more than elsewhere, the tide turns very quickly and passion prevails over reason. If Mbappé puts the White House back on the path to becoming champion of Spain, praise will quickly replace criticism.
