While Kylian Mbappé was going through one of the most delicate periods of his Madrid adventure, a behind-the-scenes intervention marked a turning point. According to the daily Marca, the attacker would have taken advantage of a private exchange to send a strong message to management, expressing his determination to reverse the dynamic.
A striking statement to bounce back
Still according to Marca, this exchange would have taken place at the beginning of December, before a 2-1 defeat against Athletic Bilbao. Mbappé, in difficulty at that time, reportedly uttered a sentence that left no one indifferent: “No one will regret my signing.” Despite this assurance, the match against Bilbao marked a low point in their season: a missed penalty, no goal scored, and a frustrating setback for the team. “I hit rock bottom in Bilbao”, he would later admit on Real Madrid TV.
After this period of failure, Mbappé quickly regained his effectiveness. With two goals in the league, another in the Champions League, and a decisive goal in the final of the Intercontinental Cup against Pachuca (3-0 victory), he demonstrated that he could be present in important moments.
Mbappé makes a promise that marks a turning point.
These performances confirmed the confidence of the leaders and of Carlo Ancelotti, who never doubted his potential : “His adaptation period is behind him. He already shows a great version of himself, even if he can still go further”said the Italian coach.
Mbappé’s promise is starting to bear fruit
By gradually regaining his level, Mbappé proves that he has the shoulders to assume the expectations placed on him. This pivotal moment illustrates his ability to face adversity and to get back up after a period of doubt. If his performances continue this way, he could soon establish himself as the undisputed leader of Real Madrid, thus fulfilling everyone’s hopes.
