Hanging on at the last second on the Betis pitch (1-1), Real Madrid continues to get bogged down in a particularly complicated end to the season. Uninspired offensively, Arbeloa’s men again let precious points slip away, leaving Barça to take an almost decisive lead in the title race. Symbol of this frustrating evening, Kylian Mbappé left prematurely…
This worrying dynamic also has individual consequences for the French striker. Barring an improbable turnaround, Mbappé is heading towards a white season, which has only happened to him once in his career, during the 2015-2016 financial year with Monaco, where he only played 14 matches. A scenario which seriously weakens his ambitions for the Ballon d’Or. However, the former PSG star has 41 goals in 41 games this season.
