Kylian Mbappé has had a rough start at Real Madrid, and his recent play has made people look closely at him.
Even though he has good stats—eight goals and two assists in 14 games across all competitions—the former star of Paris Saint-Germain has not yet found his groove in Real Madrid’s scheme.
In his first El Clásico, Real Madrid lost to Barcelona 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu on October 26, which wasn’t what he had planned for.
They lost another tough game on Tuesday night, this time a 3-1 UEFA Champions League loss at home to AC Milan. The player with the most goals for PSG all time had a hard time making a mark in both games.
This number shows how hard it is for Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid.
It was said on Twitter by Madrid Universal that Kylian Mbappé has only scored one goal in his last 30 Champions League shots.
It’s clear to Karim Benzema, who scored 354 goals in 648 games for the club, why Mbappé hasn’t made a big break in Spanish football yet. This week, the Al-Ittihad star talked to El Chiringuito TV about the problems his fellow Frenchman is having in Madrid.
“Mbappé is not a 9 for me.” “He’s on the left wing,” Benzema told the Spanish news source. “But the problem is Vinicius Jr. is on the left wing.” Mbappe knows that Real Madrid is under a lot of stress. If you don’t score in two or three games at Madrid, they’ll kill you.
“I believe he needs to get used to this.” In games, he needs to make a good impact. Each game is different, and he needs to score goals because that’s why they brought him in.
