For the first time in his career, Kylian Mbappé is going through a real bad patch. Small summary of the disaster soap opera in which the French striker plays the main role.
And one more attack on the morale of
Kylian Mbappé. The defeat suffered by Real Madrid on Wednesday evening
on the Liverpool pitch (2-0)during the 5th day of the Champions League, did not heal the confidence of the French striker. On the contrary.
Beyond an annoying setback for the Spanish club with a view to direct qualification for the round of 16, Mbappé saw his penalty deflected by Kelleher, preventing the C1 holder from equalizing at 1-1.
Real have no choice but to wait
« You shouldn't blame him for missing penalties, people miss penalties, it happens a lot… You have to be patient with him, he’s an exceptional player,” commented Carlo Ancelooti, the Real coach, after the hiccup at Anfield.
This new failure obviously brought joy to his detractors and the headlines of the sports media. Above all, it is one more episode (too many?) which keeps the almost 26-year-old player in a very bad situation.
Vinicius or Mbappé, you will have to choose
Announced as one of the best players in the world, Kylian Mbappé has still not successfully integrated into Real Madrid, in particular because of a positioning that is still not resolved, with the Brazilian Vinicius Jr already occupying the left lane.
To this should be added the non-selection for Les Bleus during the last two gatherings, in October and November, and the trip to Stockholm concluded by suspicions of rape of a young woman. Besides, has the investigation progressed? We do not forget the severe conflict with PSG.
55 million that prevents you from sleeping?
The Parisian club, where Kylian Mbappé has piled up goals and titles (except the Champions League) for seven years (2017-2024), is seeking by all legal means not to pay him salaries and bonuses in the amount of 55 million euros.
With all this, the 2018 world champion and finalist in 2022 may be mentally weakened. The question is when he will see the light.
