Real Madrid’s defeat against Liverpool (2-0) in the Champions League on Wednesday amplified the crisis that Kylian Mbappé is going through. Transparent on the pitch, the French striker missed a crucial penalty and never had any influence in the game. Major Spanish newspapers, such as Marcaappear particularly severe.
“Mbappé today is not even a shadow of the player he has been in recent years. The crisis of confidence he is going through devours him until he becomes unrecognizable. headlines the Madrid daily. This disastrous performance reflects the adaptation difficulties of the player, who has been under enormous pressure since his arrival.
Unanimity in criticism, Barcelona also gets involved
In the columns of A.S.Mbappé is judged “zero in big matches”. “This puncture is associated with Mbappé, called to save a decimated team but who failed without an alibi”insists the newspaper. In Barcelona, the criticism is just as harsh. Mundo Deportivo speaks of a “debacle”while Sport calls the Frenchman a player
“disjointed”.
The images of Mbappé leaving the pitch without greeting Madrid supporters reinforced discontent, even among club legends like Guti, who believes that
“the Real Madrid jersey weighs heavy”.
