Kylian Mbappé did not play well against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, which has led to criticism from numerous European media outlets.
Identified as one of the main reasons for the defeat against Borussia Dortmund (1-0), Kylian Mbappé had a notably quiet game. Playing as the number 9, he had a chance with a shot hitting the post in the 50th minute, but he never seemed to rise to the occasion, even as his team was trailing.
Both abroad and in France, his leadership and ability to be decisive in important matches are being questioned. A few weeks ago, Didier Roustan was particularly outspoken about him, according to Foot Mercato.
“He scores 1/10th of his goals against Gibraltar. Stop with these damn stats and these damn goals. You tell me he’s the best player in the world but you don’t see him; he does nothing. Messi and Neymar at the same age were everywhere in a match,” he stated on the L’Équipe channel after the first leg against Barcelona.
On his way to Real Madrid
It has not yet been officially announced that Mbappé is moving from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid this summer, but all signs point to it. Therefore, the French star is likely in his final season at Parc des Princes.
Reportedly, he hopes to conclude his time at PSG in style, aiming to win the Champions League. He has already helped secure the Ligue 1 title for the French powerhouse this season.
There have been a plethora of rumors about Mbappé in recent months, including links to Liverpool. Additionally, there were reports that he would extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. However, it now appears that he has an agreement with Real Madrid.
