Kylian Mbappé continues to be plagued by bad luck, while the debate surrounding him makes waves across the globe.
Incredible. Despite sounding unbelievable, Kylian Mbappé’s situation is on track to defy every known logic. Matches are coming thick and fast, and minutes are piling up providing all sorts of opportunities, yet the French forward remains unable to get his head up. Almost everyone rallies around him in vain. Game after game, the French superstar continues to produce an endless string of mistakes and some glaring errors.
There is hardly a day that goes by without a generous article analyzing Kylian Mbappé’s physical and, more importantly, mental state. It’s well known that everyone has an opinion on football; everyone knows and, more crucially, dares to pass judgment. It doesn’t matter whether it’s an active player, a more or less illustrious ex-player, or a diverse array of fans: Mbappé certainly deserves his share of footballing and psychological analysis.

Javier Tebas, the head of LaLiga, warned months ago. The arrival of Kylian was going to be beneficial for the Spanish competition as it would bring significant international attention to a league that was showing clear signs of decline. And Tebas was right.
Mbappé is weighing down his Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti holds firm, rightly so, believing that sooner or later, Kylian will emerge from this rut; the posts will turn into goals, shots now saved by the goalkeeper will also find the net, and of course, with Vinicius’s grace, the penalties will eventually go in. The Italian manager likely thinks it’s just a matter of time and a bit of luck.
And perhaps the great Ancelotti, once more, is correct. But until that moment comes, teams like Flick’s and Simeone’s are breathing a sigh of relief. Cholo suffered his own particular ordeal a few weeks back, Flick’s men showed signs of recovery in Mallorca while Madrid struggles in LaLiga and endures great difficulties in the Champions League.

Many, just as Tebas dreamed, are already yearning for a three-horse race in the league. Something we haven’t seen in recent years. And all because of Kylian Mbappé. The Frenchman has shaken up the competition, even if it’s not with the dream goal-scoring numbers. As of today, Kylian is indeed the king, in terms of offside calls (22), and missed penalties (2 out of 5).
Tomorrow, you can be sure that the entire footballing world will discuss both Mbappé’s poor performance at San Mamés and the Premier League or any competition you desire. Thanks to the French star, today Barcelona is more of a leader, Cholo is more optimistic, and Tebas showcases his league with greater pride. It’s clear that with Mbappé, (almost) everyone wins.
