The slap. After a mixed start to the season, Kylian Mbappé had the opportunity to strike a big blow with Real Madrid against Barça, for his first Clasico. Verdict? A rout for his team, humiliated in front of his audience (0-4), and a terrible statistic for the Bondynois, reported eight times in an offside position.
Unsurprisingly, it is the face of Mbappé, symbol of the disaster, which appears on the home page of the website of the main Madrid dailies this Sunday morning. “It was an individual cataclysm within a disastrous collective evening for Real, summarizes AS. For his first big match (he missed the derby due to injury) with Madrid and in a game plan that suited him well, with hectares to cover, he did no harm to Inaki Peña and broke the record of the offside world. Eight times he fell into the trap of Flick and his lure of a very advanced defense. Again and again and again and again…”
Mbappé “not yet at the level expected of him”
For Mbappé, this failed match would go better if he was not the club’s major recruit, and if his first steps did not leave a feeling of inadequacy. “The fact is that everything does not seem smooth and he is a superstar who only shines with flashes of genius like against Alavés and the wonder at Celta de Vigo. Worrying »according to AS.
Marca also remains hungry with Mbappé.
“The former PSG player is not yet at the level expected of him. A match like last night seemed ideal to take a step forward, but we will still have to wait. Against Barca he was able to run and with some success he could have at least scored a goal, but beyond that he is not considered as decisive or as formidable as in previous years. »
