Kylian Mbappé’s bad spell at Real Madrid continues to spark reactions. After his disappointing performance during the 2-0 defeat against Liverpool in the Champions League, former French international Jérôme Rothen did not mince his words on RMC Sport.
“Since the World Cup final in Qatar, it’s been decadence. He became an ordinary player. » Rothen points to a drop in investment since his contract renewal at PSG, and performances below expectations since his arrival at Real.
A crisis of confidence and performance
For Rothen, Mbappé’s problems are not new. “Over the last year and a half, we have seen a drop. Opposing teams have understood his weaknesses, and he himself seems disturbed by his private life and his professionalism. »
With only 9 goals in 18 games this season, Mbappé is struggling to respond to the immense pressure weighing on him in Madrid. Rothen questions his ability to return to the level that placed him among the best players in the world: “Will he be able to find this again?” »
