What's going wrong for Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid? In a word, everything. The French World Cup winner, long considered an exceptional talent, appears to have suddenly forgotten how to play the game.
He shoots into the comfort zones of goalkeepers, a few metres to the left or right of them, or fluffs his shots entirely. Even his penalties are being saved. His legendary bursts of speed and elusive runs into the box are missing; he is currently outpacing and outfoxing no one.
In fact, in the latest El Clasico—Madrid's famed encounter with arch-rivals Barcelona—in October, Mbappe was caught offside eight times, the joint highest such tally by a La Liga player in 15 years.
At 18, Mbappe became the youngest player since Pele to score in a World Cup final (2018). In 2022, he became one of only two in the history of the game to score in two consecutive World Cup finals (the other was Brazil's Vava, in 1958 and '62).
