The debut of Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid was celebrated as the beginning of a new era, as one of the world’s most talented players would propel Los Blancos to even greater heights.

However, the French superstar is currently under scrutiny, nearly midway through his inaugural season.

There are growing concerns regarding his temperament and form, as he has scored only one goal in his last eight outings and has only scored eight goals in 14 appearances.

The intention was for Mbappe’s acquisition to emulate the influence of Cristiano Ronaldo’s legendary arrival 15 years earlier.

The Santiago Bernabeu was packed with more than 70,000 supporters who were anticipating that he would be a goal machine and lead Madrid to victory in the summer.

However, the actuality has been more subdued. The media and fans alike have expressed uncertainty regarding his mental health and positioning, as a result of his most recent goal dearth since 2021.

After being excluded from recent selections, even Didier Deschamps, France’s national coach, was compelled to request that the press “leave [Mbappe] alone.”

However, the 25-year-old remains the centre of attention as Madrid prepares for its impending Champions League match against Liverpool, where the stakes are high.

The Madrid players desire Mbappe to channel the passion of Ronaldo and Benzema. Mbappe’s demeanour has been cheerful and relaxed since his arrival, as reported by Relevo.

This is a refreshing contrast to the apprehension that his vanity might disrupt team harmony.

Nevertheless, certain members of the Madrid dressing room believe that the Frenchman is devoid of the ardent intensity that characterised Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.

Both icons were recognised for their appetite, frustration in defeat, and determination to surpass their Benzene, the legendary player of Los Blancos, recently delivered a sharp critique, stating, “If he goes two or three games without scoring, they’re going to kill him.”

He observed that Mbappe’s primary weakness is his inability to function as a natural center-forward and is more effective on the left flank, a position that is presently dominated by Vinícius.
