Real Madrid continues their downward spiral following the tough loss to Milan in the Champions League. The match, which took place at the Bernabeu, ended 3-1 in favor of the Italian team.
Real Madrid, whose fans were expecting a strong reaction after the loss to Barcelona in El Clasico, saw the team’s performance against Milan fall shockingly short of expectations.
Kylian Mbappé is one of Real Madrid’s most prominent stars. After the defeats to Barcelona and Milan, and after the striker missed several scoring opportunities, Thierry Henry criticized his compatriot’s performance. Henry didn’t hold back any criticism of Mbappé.
Henry stated, “The team is frustrated with him, which I can understand. It’s not easy. We need to give him time, but at the same time, he must learn to play as a number 9, and he needs to have the desire and the will to prove himself.”
He continued, “Bellingham is trying to do what a number 9 is supposed to do,Mbappé. Bellingham is almost always the one trying to get forward, to make the team play, and he is still the one trying to break the lines.” He added, “Who is running and trying to get to the goal? It’s Bellingham, not a number 9. There is frustration.”
France legend Thierry Henry issued a stern warning to his compatriot Mbappé, saying that what he has been offering to the team is not enough.
Henry concluded his remarks by stating that Mbappé needs to wake up quickly, otherwise Real Madrid will not be patient with him for long. Despite Perez’s affection for Mbappé, the president prioritizes the interests of the team above all else.
