Mbappé has scored nine goals in 17 appearances for Real Madrid this season, but a closer look at his statistics – he has scored just four goals from open play in La Liga – has contributed to heavy criticism. Additionally, Thierry Henry was among those who questioned the French striker for his difficulties playing centrally.
Nowhere does the spotlight shine brighter than in Madrid and the criticism is simply normal. Bellingham knows this very well, but the England midfielder came to Mbappé’s defense by calling the criticism ” exaggerated » and insisting that his teammate “ will only get better“.
Bellingham defends Mbappé
“Kylian was absolutely brilliant when he arrived. He gets a lot of criticism and it’s a bit over the top, for me,” Bellingham said ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League match against Liverpool. “I think if you look at what he’s brought to the table so far, it’s really good. It’s scary because I see him every day in training and I know he will only get better. »
Carlo Ancelotti’s side have had a mixed start to their Champions League campaign, losing at home to AC Milan in their last outing. The Merengue will hope to get back on track against Arne Slot’s impeccable Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday evening.
