Author of 8 goals and 2 assists, Kylian Mbappé (25 years old) does not have an extraordinary record since his arrival at Real Madrid, but his track record remains correct. Except that this is not enough to convince Spanish observers. Forced to be repositioned in number 9, Vinicius Junior being untouchable on his left side, the Bondynois offers very questionable performances. Nothing really new for all those who followed in Mbappé’s footsteps in this position at PSG.
The captain of the French team is struggling to establish himself in this position, for which he clearly does not have all the codes. As proof, Opta revealed an incredible statistic concerning him: Mbappé has been caught offside 17 times since the start of the La Liga season, more than any other striker in the European top 5. And of these 17 offsides, 8 concern the last Clasico. The Confidential we also learn that Mbappé’s completely failed match against FC Barcelona was not without consequences for Florentino Pérez and the management of Real Madrid.
Real wonders what’s going on with Mbappé
If the player assured internally not to worry, the Spanish media assures that Pérez is much more worried by Mbappé’s performance than by the disappointment of Vinicius Junior after missing the 2024 Ballon d’Or. In short, the slap received at the Bernabéu (0-4) with a harmless Mbappé dealt a big blow to Pérez. Madrid management is wondering what is going on with Mbappé and why he is still not in good shape. A real blow for the boss of Real Madrid at a time when the Blaugrana rival is jubilant.
Indeed, at a time when Barça is celebrating the emergence of Lamine Yamal (winner of the Euro and the Kopa 2024 trophy), see Mbappé, the other headliner of LaLiga, in free fall without any reaction from Pride hurts Madrid. The Confidential reminds us that the Frenchman is not just another star for Pérez. Mbappé is a player on whom the Merengue president has worked for a long time to bring him in without disrupting his team, both tactically and salary-wise. Except that, for the moment, if Mbappé’s salary is not debated, his arrival has really upset the balance of the team coached by Carlo Ancelotti.
