As Kylian Mbappe continues to struggle at his new club, former France midfielder Emmanuel Petit is concerned about his current circumstances at Real Madrid.

WHAT OCCURRED?

Concerned about Kylian Mbappe’s circumstances at Real Madrid, former France footballer Emmanuel Petit expressed his opinion that the star attacker is alone in the Spanish city and lacks teammates. Petit also discussed how his public persona hasn’t aided his cause, particularly in light of the turmoil surrounding the France national team after Didier Deschamps kicked him out of the games in November.

Mbappe hasn’t looked like the star who helped France win the World Cup twice in 2018 and 2022 since moving to Madrid last summer. In 20 games in all competitions, Mbappe has only managed 10 goals for Real Madrid and has clearly appeared uneasy on the field. His relationship with the rest of the team is also damaged, according to sources from Spain. An example would be Jude Bellingham’s apparent disregard for Mbappe in the tunnel at Anfield last week.

EMMANUEL PETIT’S COMMENTS

“I believe Kylian Mbappe is incredibly lonely at Real Madrid,” Petit said in a Gambling Zone interview. “I noticed Jude Bellingham avoiding him, and it doesn’t appear like he has any friends or support at the club.

Because of what transpired during the most recent international break, he has been criticized by the media, doesn’t appear to have any friends in Paris or Spain, and has become a public enemy number one in France. This season, he has also fallen well short of his previous level. Even though he has ten goals, it’s just numbers, and he doesn’t look like himself.

He appears unhappy both on and off the field, so I just express how I feel when I see him. He was the king of France and had complete control over PSG and France, but things have changed since then.

“He feels lonely, and when you’re playing against the best players, you have to be able to work through your issues on the field.”

FUTURE PLANS FOR KYLIAN MBAPPE?

After missing another penalty in Wednesday’s lackluster performance against Athletic Club, Mbappe posted a tale on Instagram promising to bounce back and prove himself as a player. “Unfavorable outcome. A major error in a match where every little thing matters. I am alone accountable for it. Mbappe posted on Instagram, “This is a challenging moment, but it’s the best time to change this situation and show who I am.”

When Real Madrid travels to Catalonia to play Girona in a difficult away match on Saturday, December 7, supporters will undoubtedly be hopeful that Mbappe can turn things around in La Liga.
