Kylian Mbappé’s start at Real Madrid has not gone as expected, and it appears to be taking a toll on the player.
Details: According to Romain Molina, an investigative journalist who has written extensively for The Guardian, The New York Times, BBC, and CNN, Mbappé is facing serious mental health struggles.
Reports indicate that the French forward is finding it difficult to cope with the mounting criticism. As a result, Mbappé has been spending more time out late, frequenting nightclubs, and consuming alcohol.
The situation has been further exacerbated by the recent scandal involving Mbappé, which emerged yesterday. Swedish police are investigating the Real Madrid striker for alleged sexual assault.
In light of this controversy, Real Madrid removed Mbappé from an Adidas promotional poster that was published yesterday.
Reminder: In his first eight La Liga matches, Mbappé has scored five goals, though three of them have come from penalties.
