Coming into play against Lille on Wednesday, Kylian Mbappé spent a very complicated evening at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy between copious whistles and a poor performance.
The surprise return of Kylian Mbappé to France turned into a nightmare for the captain of the Blues. While his recent thigh injury was to deprive him of this reunion with France, the former Monegasque was ultimately present in the Madrid group. The former Parisian was nevertheless a substitute and it was therefore from the bench that the Bondynois witnessed Lille’s opening score from the penalty spot in the first period.
Kylian Mbappé was called to the rescue shortly before the hour mark to replace Endrick, but his entry into play looked like a long ordeal for the French striker. First of all because of the welcome given by the public at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. When entering the pitch, the Madrid striker was indeed greeted by a real bronca, whistles being heard from all sides.
Kylian Mbappé was transparent
The worst was to be feared for Kylian Mbappé but the supporters then spared him, only a few whistles accompanying his first catches of the ball. But if he hoped to remember the Northerners well, the native of Paris was powerless, failing to make the slightest difference.
In 35 minutes on the pitch, he did not attempt a single shot – a first since his arrival with the Merengue – and Real were left with their first defeat of the season and even the first since January last, Losc having ended its series of 36 invincibility matches.
