Henry Sends a Scor.ching Message to Real Madrid Star Due to His Poor Performance This Season

Real Madrid’s struggles continue after a tough 3-1 defeat to Milan in the Champions League at the Bernabeu. Fans had hoped for a strong rebound following the loss to Barcelona in El Clasico, but the team’s performance against Milan fell far short of expectations.

Kylian Mbappé, one of the club’s star players, came under fire after the defeats, particularly for missing several key scoring chances. Thierry Henry, his compatriot, did not hold back in his criticism of Mbappé’s performance. He acknowledged the frustration within the team but emphasized that Mbappé needs to improve his play as a number 9.

Henry explained, “The team is frustrated with him, which is understandable. It’s not easy, but he must learn the role of a number 9 and show the determination to prove himself.” He pointed out that Jude Bellingham, who often takes on the responsibilities of a number 9 by making runs and breaking defensive lines, is doing more to lead the attack than Mbappé.

He added, “Who’s making the runs to get to goal? It’s Bellingham, not a number 9. That’s causing frustration.” Henry warned Mbappé that his current contribution isn’t enough, stressing that he needs to step up quickly or risk losing the patience of both the fans and club management. Despite president Florentino Pérez’s admiration for Mbappé, Henry reminded him that the club’s priorities are always the team’s success.
