Mbappe is tired. Real Madrid star no longer wants to play as a centre-forward
Yesterday, Real Madrid suffered a shocking 1-3 defeat to AC Milan in the 4th round of the UEFA Champions League, and Kylian Mbappé once again failed to find the net. It seems the French star is growing frustrated.
Details: According to Diario Sport, Mbappé no longer sees himself in the central forward role that Carlo Ancelotti has assigned to him.
However, this presents a dilemma for Real Madrid, as the left wing, which is Mbappé’s preferred position, is currently occupied by Vinícius Júnior.
Additionally, it’s noted that Mbappé’s camp is highly dissatisfied with his role at Madrid. Fans and pundits have singled out the French forward’s performance as a key factor in the team’s poor season start, and Mbappé is reportedly growing tired of the criticism.
Mbappé encountered a similar situation at PSG, where he struggled to coexist on the field with Neymar. However, Neymar's injuries eventually allowed Kylian to become the team's main star.
Reminder: After four Champions League matches, Real Madrid has accumulated just 6 points. In the 2nd round, Ancelotti’s team also suffered a surprising 0-1 defeat to Lille.
In La Liga, Real Madrid currently holds second place after 12 rounds, trailing Barcelona by 9 points but with a game in hand.
