Despite a pharaonic presentation at the Santiago Bernabéu, where 80,000 fans celebrated his signing, the French striker is struggling to respond to the immense pressure.

According to Georges Quirino-Chaves, analyst for The TeamMbappé benefits from a special status which distinguishes him from his teammates: “For Florentino Pérez, it is the greatest treasure. Seeing him on the bench is unthinkable both for the club and for the supporters. » A very different treatment from that of Karim Benzema or Zinédine Zidane in their Madrid debut.

The specter of whistles at the Bernabéu

On Sunday, during the Getafe reception, Mbappé could face a reality that Zidane and Benzema also faced: the whistles of the supporters. After his disappointing performance against Liverpool (2-0 defeat), Pablo Polo, journalist for Marcawarns: “The fans have been patient, but it wouldn’t be surprising if he was whistled.
