Real Madrid had a difficult start to the Liga season. On Sunday night, Carlo Ancelotti’s troops had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Mallorca. A difficult match during which the Merengues offered rather mediocre content, and the Islanders could have even won the match with a few interesting chances in the second half.
While it is true that very few Madrid players have been at their level, it is clear that Kylian Mbappé has disappointed. Lined up at the forefront of the attack, he has not really managed to show himself, being well muzzled by the opposing defenders. A terrible statistic has also come out: in the first two games with his new club, he has been at the origin of 0 chances. Proof that he is struggling in the game. He also lost 11 balls yesterday, and has not been skillful or inspired in the few hot situations he has had up front.
The Madrid press spares him, the Catalans enjoy themselves
This morning, the Madrid press does not necessarily condemn him. Brand even goes so far as to give it a 6/10, whileAS highlights the fact that it creates a sense of terrible danger for opposing defenses. Rather benevolent remarks, which contrast with those held by other media. On the side of Sporthe received the worst rating from the people of Madrid, a 4/10: “off. He was active, but he didn’t leave any traces of his quality. He still has to make a place for himself in the team”.
“Mbappé’s team, which gave the impression that it was going to stroll through La Liga, proved that it is not invincible”noted World Sports while Mbappé only received one star in the match report (the maximum rating being 3 stars). “The Frenchman can still bring much more to Real Madrid”spear The Desmarqueon his hunger. Some also did not understand why Ancelotti took so long to make substitutions, waiting until the 87th minute of play to bring in new attacking players. “Removing Mbappé, Bellingham and Vinicius is very complicated, and it will be like that all season”explained for example Antonio Romero on the SER chain. Mbappé and his teammates will have the opportunity to rebuild next weekend, at home against Valladolid.
