Kylian Mbappé’s start at Real Madrid has been challenging since his transfer from PSG.
His first big match, El Clásico, did not go well. On October 26, Real Madrid lost 4-0 to Barcelona at their home ground, the Santiago Bernabéu. This heavy defeat was a tough start for Mbappé in his new team.
Things did not improve soon after. Just a few days later, Real Madrid faced AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League and lost 3-1. These losses have put pressure on the team and on Mbappé himself.
On Wednesday, there was hope for a better performance against Liverpool. With Vinicius Junior out, Mbappé had a chance to play in a position he prefers. However, the match turned out to be very disappointing for him.
Despite these challenges, some believe that signing Mbappé was still a good decision. ESPN FC pundit Shaka Hislop thinks Real Madrid made the right choice by bringing him in as a free agent.
Hislop stated that having a player of Mbappé’s talent is a valuable opportunity. He believes that Real Madrid, more than many clubs, will benefit from this signing. He also trusts that coach Carlo Ancelotti will help Mbappé adjust to the team.
As time goes on, the discussion about Mbappé’s adaptation will fade. However, fans and analysts will start to wonder if his much-anticipated move could turn into a problem for him and the club.
