Unless an incredible turnaround in Liga, Real Madrid is preparing to finish the season without the slightest trophy. Distributed by Barça in Liga and eliminated in the quarter -finals in the Champions League, the Merengue club bowed in the King Cup final on Saturday against the Blaugrana.
Kylian Mbappé was obviously expected better for his first season in his new colors. Back from injury, Le Bondynois was on the bench at the start of the meeting. Coming into play at the break, he quickly put on the Savior's costume by equalizing on a direct free kick, his first in career.
Thanks to this goal, Kylian Mbappé scored his 34e Aim of the season all competitions, offering the record for the most prolific Madrid recruit in history for its first season. But for the rest, the former Parisian did not show for his advantage and his state of form worried to say the least Frédéric Antonetti.
Kylian Mbappé struggling against the big teams
The former coach of Stade Rennais notably pointed out his physical difficulties, more and more glaring in his eyes.
“He did good things, he was at the origin of the free kick, he marked it. But I find that he has a physical deficit. He cannot repeat the efforts, he said. There is an action that calls out to me, he gives the ball to Vinicius who goes to the goal. He must accompany him and he stops. I do not know if he cannot or no longer make the effort, if he has a physical problem. Or if he got so used to not making any efforts that he no longer makes it. »»
And the Corsican technician to make a worrying observation to say the least: Kylian Mbappé would only be to his advantage in the face of the small teams. “I find it very good when the Madrid team wins or was stronger than the opponent, as in Paris Saint-Germain at the time. But whenever it is on the same level, it is often transparent ”, he pointed out, revealing his pessimism for the future.
