After Real Madrid’s defeat against Liverpool (2-0) at Anfield, Kylian Mbappé is at the heart of the debates. The striker, expected to be the offensive leader in the absence of Vinicius Jr, failed to be decisive.
Former Madrid midfielder Guti analyzed his performance on the show El Chiringuito :
“I think Mbappé was not up to the task, obviously. This is reality. » He highlights a visible lack of confidence in his game and even before taking a penalty: “He looked like he was scared…”
Guti calls to protect Mbappé
For Guti, arriving at Real Madrid exposed Mbappé to a different pressure from that he knew at Paris Saint-Germain, where he played in a cocoon. “It’s very difficult to play for a club like Real Madrid,” he recalled.
However, he believes that ruling out the attacker would be a mistake:
“Removing it would be the worst medicine, but we must protect it. » The former player concludes by recalling that despite the criticism, “Mbappé is one of the best players in the world” and that we must give him time to adapt.
