Kylian Mbappé’s debut at Real Madrid has been far from easy since his free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain this summer. The 25-year-old’s challenges in the Spanish capital appear to be piling up following a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.
His Clásico debut on October 26 was difficult, with Real Madrid losing 4-0 to Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabéu. A few days later, the difficulties continued as Los Blancos were beaten 3-1 by AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League.
On Wednesday, in the absence of Vinicius Junior, Mbappé had the opportunity to establish himself in his preferred role against Liverpool. Unfortunately, the match turned into a nightmare for the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner.

Mbappé not only missed a scoring opportunity but also saw a key penalty saved in the second half, adding to his frustration. Despite the difficult evening at Anfield, manager Carlo Ancelotti and former Real Madrid player Gareth Bale are confident that PSG’s all-time top scorer will bounce back from this difficult moment.
Ancelotti noted: “Mbappé has all our support and he will turn things around soon. Mbappé is an extraordinary player, you have to be patient. It fits well and adapts well. We are with him.

Bale said: “It happens. Do you see what I mean? I missed penalties. Penalties missed by everyone. It’s just a shame at the moment that things aren’t going quite Mbappé’s way. But I think on his day he is the best player in the world. I think it’s only a matter of time before he gets good.
Ultimately, the debate on adaptation will no longer hold and people will start to wonder if Mbappé’s dream transfer could turn into a nightmare.
