Kylian Mbappe enjoyed a very impressive first season with Real Madrid at a personal point of view, but everything does not seem good at the Santiago Bernabeu after their exit of Champions League
Real Madrid fans have booed Kylian Mbappe loudly in their newest outing – despite the fact that the Frenchman didn't even play. After their exit from the Champions League, the Spanish giants were back in action against Athletic Bilbao during the weekend.
Mbappe, 26, was not really available after he was banned a week ago for a red card against Alaves. But that did not stop him from getting sorrow from supporters during the game.
Mbappe flashed on a large screen on the Bernabeu Mid game, with loud angry audible when he appeared. It is not the first time he has been beaten in recent days since Real's Champions League -Exit against Arsenal – a match where he left the field injured and was again pronounced.
The legendary former AC Milan boss Arrigo Sacchi claimed that he hardly played to his top form for Real Madrid this season, with the pressure on boss Carlo Ancelotti. In conversation with Gazzetta, he said: “Let's look at his team this season. He had many injuries and he was forced to play many matches without a natural defender.
“They signed a striker [Mbappé] Who had to be a phenomenon, but not played as such. I know the Real Madrid environment well, and I am familiar with Florentino Perez because I worked as technical director of Real Madrid. He is a great president, but he focuses too much on strikers. I think that to convince him to sign Sergio Ramos, I had to fight for three months because he doesn't even look at defenders. “
Former French international Jerome Rothen has also been crucial and claims that the move from Mbappe to Spain has been a 'failure'. He said: “People are talking about Kylian Mbappé.
“He arrived in his dream club with the ambition to win every trophy, including the Champions League, and also to be one of the best players in the world and to win the Ballon d'Or. Collective and individually he is a failure. He will not win the Ballon d'Or. He is a sounding failure.”
He added: “At the start of the season, soothing factors were found. He could have had time to adjust, but when you are Mbappé, the adjustment time is shorter. He scored many goals, but in the game he is catastrophic.”

Mbappe has succeeded in scoring 32 goals for Real Madrid this season in what an impressive first season has been. But Real still managed to win without him at the weekend – Federico Valverde winner winner against Athletic Bilbao. It leaves Ancelotti's side four points behind Barcelona in the race for the title with six more games.
They will strive to reduce that gap in midweek if they accept Getafe – a game for which Mbappe is available if he would overcome an ankle problem.
