Real Madrid fans tore Kylian Mbappé to shreds when his penalty was saved by Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher in the Champions League.
The evening ended in disappointment for the Whites, with Liverpool winning 2-0, compounding the Spanish side’s Champions League woes. Alexis Mac Allister found the fault in the 52nd minute, but Real Madrid had a chance to equalize soon after when Andy Robertson brought down substitute Lucas Vazquez in the penalty area. However, Mbappé’s penalty attempt lacked conviction and was saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
Real Madrid fans have expressed their frustration with Mbappé on social media, whose recent form has drawn criticism.
“He makes a free transfer look like a waste of money”
One X user, @LibanLDN, remarked: “ That sums up Mbappé’s evening and season so far. He makes a free transfer look like a waste of money. »
@TheEuropeanLad wrote: “ People have tried to put Kylian Mbappé in GOAT lists, by the way. Get out of here. »
@views09 compared Mbappé to Eden Hazard: “ Who is the worst recruit in Real Madrid history? Kylian Mbappé or Eden Hazard. »
While @MadridArchives wrote: “ Mbappé doesn’t know how to score. Mbappé doesn’t know how to dribble. Mbappé doesn’t know how to make a simple pass. Mbappé loses 90% of duels. It’s literally a handicap. The sooner we replace him with Endrick, the better. »
While @LFCTransferRoom trolled saying: “Conor Bradley transformed Kylian Mbappé into ‘Raygun’ 👀”
Mbappé’s missed penalty highlighted a wider problem with Real Madrid’s recent performances, which have been marred by inconsistency and a lack of clinical finishing. For Mbappé, the pressure is mounting and supporters expect him to live up to his reputation as one of the best players in the world.
The defeat marks Real Madrid’s third defeat in their last five league stage matches, leaving the team in a precarious position. They currently occupy 24th place in the table, just two points from the relegation zone. With just three matches remaining in the group stage, time is running out for Real Madrid to save their campaign.
Real Madrid’s next Champions League fixtures include a tough away match against Atalanta, followed by home games against RB Salzburg and Brest at the Santiago Bernabeu in January 2025. A tough road ahead for the men of Carlo Anceloti in Europe!
