Mbappé, new disaster!

This Real Madrid of Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius is definitely catastrophic! Carlo Ancelotti’s team remained in a Clasico lost 4-0 at the Bernabéu, 10 days ago, in the wake of a comeback against Dortmund in their lair (5-2). The Merengues were once again behind in the Champions League on the field, ahead of AC Milan, but they sank this time against the Rossoneri (1-3). The reigning European champion not only records a second defeat in four UCL matches, he also sinks into a real sporting crisis.

This Real reinforced with Mbappé makes no sense and the Italian staff of the team has changed the formula again by asking Jude Bellingham, the big loser of the arrival of the French phenomenon, to defend left midfielder (after having played right midfielder against Barça…). Malick Thiaw opened the scoring from a corner, moving Aurélien Tchouameni (12th), then the Madrid defense was distressing on goals from Alvaro Morata (39th) and Tijani Reijnders (73rd). Quick attacks from Paulo Fonseca’s team hit the mark.

Mbappé comes up against a great Maignan

“Vini” equalized at 1-1 from the penalty spot (12th), with a magnificent “Panenka” in front of Mike Maignan, but the Madrilenians then came up against an Imperial Blues goalkeeper. Kylian Mbappé, despite all his efforts to finish the actions of his teammates, lacked realism. He alerted his teammate from the French team (13th and 43rd), missed his shot (62nd) and ended up with two attempts from outside the area (90th and 96th). Maignan also made a final exceptional parade in front of Brahim Diaz (91st).

Mbappé’s current form is not good, far from it. And it clearly handicaps Real, who have neither Bellingham in the penalty area like last season, nor Joselu, a real center forward/goal chaser who would perhaps have done better than Mbappé. Real’s new star number 9 has only scored one goal in his team’s last six matches (against Celta Vigo on October 19). He will have to score against Liverpool in three weeks at Anfield. If it’s not worrying, that…
