Madrid: Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid has not gone as smoothly as fans hoped. After joining from Paris Saint-Germain, he has faced several challenges on the field.
His difficulties became clear during a recent match where Real Madrid lost 2-0 to Liverpool. With teammate Vinicius out, Mbappé had a chance to shine but ended up frustrated.
Although he scored in a match against Getafe, he has struggled in important moments. This was especially true when he missed a key penalty during a 2-1 loss to Athletic Club.
Mbappé has now missed two consecutive penalties for Real Madrid. Kevin Diaz, a pundit from RMC Sport, believes it might be time for him to stop taking these kicks.
Diaz pointed out that while anyone can miss a penalty, the real issue is that Mbappé seems to want to take them despite not being a specialist. He noted that Mbappé’s approach to penalty kicks is not effective.
Diaz suggested that Mbappé might be trying to copy Neymar, especially given the controversies around penalty taking when Neymar was at PSG. This situation reflects some frustrations fans have with Mbappé’s performance.
Some are starting to wonder if Mbappé’s dream transfer to Real Madrid could turn into a nightmare. As time goes on, the idea of him needing to adapt may fade, and more questions will arise about his future with the team.
