What if the worst was yet to come for Kylian Mbappé? After a slight recovery against Leganes last weekend, the Bondynois nevertheless seemed to hit rock bottom on Wednesday on the Anfield lawn. While he was particularly expected in the absence of Vinicius, the French world champion was transparent, delivering one of his worst matches in his career. In addition to the missed penalty, the former Parisian seemed lost and unable to weigh in on the debates.
Unsurprisingly, Kylian Mbappé had the mask on at the final whistle. He also carefully dodged the microphones. But the French striker also skipped the Madrid public who came to Anfield for this remake of the 2018 and 2022 Champions League finals. An attitude which has further deteriorated his popularity with Madrid supporters, whose patience towards the Frenchman seems exhausted.
The anger of supporters against Kylian Mbappé
And some expressed their annoyance as they left Anfield. A supporter burned the Real Madrid jersey printed with the name of Mbappé and the number 9. “My hopes and support for Kylian Mbappé are over. I guess anyone who supports him has an IQ equal to that of a fly,” justified this angry fan in a video posted on social networks.
According to Madrid specialists, Kylian Mbappé can now prepare to hear his name booed on Sunday, for the Getafe reception. “We have to wait for the next match at Santiago Bernabeu to see where we are in terms of the fans’ patience. It’s obvious that fans expect a lot more. For the moment, they have been patient but it would not be very surprising if he was whistled. They did it with Benzema and Zidane, so maybe it will be difficult for him too.”confided to this effect Pablo Polo, reporter at Marca, to Le Parisien.
