No goals, no assists, no chances created for his partners and eight offsides. There is no doubt that for his first Clasico, Kylian Mbappé hoped to do much better. The French striker disappointed everyone on the pitch at the Bernabéu on Saturday evening, he who had things to prove in this very important match. Rather spared from criticism from the Madrid media so far, he seems to have lost his immunity and is not spared in the analyzes made by the capital’s newspapers this Sunday.
