Real Madrid’s dressing room turns against the team’s star and demands his exclusion from the starting lineup
Real Madrid is currently facing multiple crises, including poor team performances that have resulted in the loss of crucial points in both La Liga and the Champions League. The club is eager to turn things around and regain the winning form that has been missing in recent matches.
Recent reports from Spanish media reveal growing frustration in the dressing room with the performance of French forward Kylian Mbappé, who joined the team amid high expectations. Despite scoring 8 goals and providing 2 assists in 14 appearances, his overall contribution has been seen as underwhelming, particularly in key matches such as the Clasico against Barcelona and the Champions League encounter with Milan, both of which drew heavy criticism.
According to *Relevo*, there are rising concerns within the club about Mbappé’s impact on the team’s balance and the performances of other players, like Jude Bellingham. Both coach Carlo Ancelotti and the players have noticed weaknesses in Mbappé’s play, especially in terms of the team’s pressing strategy, which has been less effective due to his lack of defensive involvement.
Statistical analysis shows that Mbappé covered only 8 kilometers during the Clasico, a significantly lower distance than typical for strikers. Some teammates have also expressed concerns about his tendency to wait for the ball rather than actively participating in defensive efforts. There is hope within the club that Mbappé will recognize the importance of contributing more defensively.
Ancelotti is reportedly considering tactical changes to address these issues, and fans are hoping for an improved performance from Mbappé in the upcoming match against Milan
