After Real Madrid’s 2-0 loss to Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League, Kylian Mbappé’s underwhelming performance drew significant attention. Manager Carlo Ancelotti addressed the French forward’s struggles, acknowledging that it wasn’t Mbappé’s best game but defending his overall contributions and potential.
In his remarks, Ancelotti highlighted Liverpool’s solid defensive organization as a key factor in neutralizing Mbappé’s impact. “Kylian remains an extraordinary talent, but even the best have matches where things don’t go their way,” Ancelotti explained, pointing out the importance of giving credit to Liverpool for their tactical discipline.
Ancelotti also expressed confidence in Mbappé’s ability to overcome such challenges, emphasizing that football is a team sport where both victories and defeats are shared. He noted that Real Madrid’s priority now is to regroup as a squad and refocus for the upcoming fixtures, with Mbappé expected to play a pivotal role in their European campaign moving forward.
