Mbappé’s Struggles in Clasico Leave Many Worried

Much was made of Kylian Mbappé’s debut in El Clasico, but the night spelled disaster for Real Madrid as Barcelona thrashed them 4-0, marked in low for the star forward and specifically ignited critics who viewed the game as a nightmare outing for the Frenchman, while he set expectations sky-high when he arrived at Real Madrid.

Real Madrid Fans vent frustration

Madridistas already dejected with the overwhelming defeat, they blamed their anger on Mbappé, labeling him as “offside merchant” while using social media since they kept getting caught off position. His failure to score also fueled more concerns and questions whether he will do justice to the expectations building up his transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.

“This is not what we expected from the most expensive player in the world,” one frustrated fan commented online.

A Rocky Beginning to His Madrid Career

Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid earlier this season was meant to mark the dawn of a new era for Los Blancos. This hasn’t been the case despite seven goals in 10 games, and criticism starts flowing that Mbappé is yet to get rhythm in the Bernabéu. Real Madrid Manager Carlo Ancelotti says, “He needs goals and not work rate. so there is pressure on Kylian Mbappé after spending a lot of money.”
