Kylian Mbappé is facing challenges at Real Madrid after moving from PSG this summer.
His debut in El Clásico on October 26 was especially hard. Real Madrid lost 4-0 to Barcelona at their home ground, the Santiago Bernabéu. Just a few days later, they suffered another defeat, losing 3-1 to AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League.
On Wednesday, with Vinicius Junior out due to injury, Mbappé had a chance to shine against Liverpool. However, things did not go as planned for the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner.
After the disappointing game against Liverpool, former Real Madrid player Predrag Mijatović shared his thoughts. He believes that Mbappé will eventually regain his top form. Mijatović noted that last year, Mbappé faced a lot of pressure when he chose not to renew his contract with PSG.
Mijatović explained that this pressure from fans in Paris and his home country has affected Mbappé’s performance. He mentioned that it is not easy for someone so young to handle such stress. Many factors are influencing Mbappé, which is why he is struggling on the field.
While it is true that he did not play well against Liverpool, Mijatović believes that Mbappé came to Real Madrid with a strong desire to succeed. The missed penalty during the game was a big shock for him. Mijatović is confident that Mbappé will find his best form again soon.
As time goes on, people may stop using the excuse of adaptation. They might start to wonder if Mbappé’s dream move to Real Madrid could turn into a nightmare.
