Benzema’s explosive revelations on Mbappe that make Real Madrid panic

Kylian Mbappé, who has faced challenges since joining Real Madrid, recently encountered criticism following a disappointing performance in the Clasico at the Bernabeu. Before the match against AC Milan, his former French teammate, Karim Benzema, warned the club about a significant issue concerning the forward from Bondy.

Karim Benzema, a Real Madrid legend, is remembered for carrying the team after Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure. Now at Al Ittihad, Benzema’s iconic 2021/2022 season, which included a Champions League title and a Ballon d’Or, is still held in high regard by Madrid fans. Despite his move to Saudi Arabia, Benzema continues to follow Real Madrid closely. He shared his thoughts in a detailed interview with El Chiringuito, discussing Mbappé’s mixed start at the club.

After his high-profile summer transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappé has struggled to make an impact in Real Madrid’s attack. The fans, disappointed by his performance in the La Liga match against FC Barcelona, are starting to voice their frustrations with the 2018 World Cup champion. Benzema, who has played alongside Mbappé with the French national team, is not surprised by the difficulties, but he offers an analysis of the situation.

Benzema believes that Mbappé is not suited to play as a center-forward, a role he has struggled with when played in that position for France. According to Benzema, Mbappé’s best performances have come when he plays on the left wing, a position currently occupied by Vinícius Jr. at Real Madrid. He acknowledges the challenge of fitting both players into the same lineup, as Vinícius, in Benzema’s view, is irreplaceable on the left wing.

Benzema also suggests that Mbappé must adapt to his new reality in Madrid, acknowledging the intense pressure he faces. He advises the Frenchman to embrace the role of a central forward, despite his previous success on the left. Benzema notes that the pressure in Madrid is immense, much greater than what he experienced at a younger age, and warns Mbappé that if he doesn’t start scoring, he will quickly face intense scrutiny from the fans and media.Finally, Benzema encourages Mbappé to manage the pressure and use it as motivation, emphasizing that he has the talent and ability to succeed at Real Madrid. Benzema believes Mbappé can meet the challenge and achieve success with the club.
