Kylian Mbappé: Troubling News for Real Madrid Ahead of Liverpool Clash

With just days remaining before Real Madrid’s crucial Champions League match against Liverpool, a concerning revelation regarding Kylian Mbappé has emerged, casting a shadow over the club’s preparations.

The French forward, who recently made the move to Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain, has been struggling to find his form, failing to score in his last four appearances. Despite several attempts, Mbappé has yet to hit the back of the net in these outings, a worrying trend that has left a dent in Real Madrid’s offensive play, particularly in high-stakes games.

Deschamps Shares Concerns About Mbappé’s Mental State

Ahead of the November 27 clash with Liverpool at Anfield, Didier Deschamps, head coach of the French national team, opened up about Mbappé’s mental and emotional state. Deschamps, who has been closely monitoring his star player, acknowledged the difficulties Mbappé is facing. While the French coach refrained from labeling the situation as “depression,” he hinted at the mental struggles affecting Mbappé’s game.

Speaking on the Téléfoot show, Deschamps said, “I don’t know if I would call it depression, but it’s clear that his head is not in the best place right now. The mind controls the body, and he’s going through a tough period. He has to rediscover his form, even if his performances in 2024 have been less effective.”

Real Madrid Facing Crucial Weeks Ahead

This news is a significant concern for Real Madrid, who have relied heavily on Mbappé since his arrival. With key fixtures ahead, including the high-profile Champions League encounter against Liverpool, Los Blancos need their star forward to regain his confidence and sharpness. Deschamps, however, remains hopeful, stressing that Mbappé has the potential to return to the level he showed in 2022. “He’s in a difficult moment, but he has all the tools to get back to his best,” Deschamps added.

For Real Madrid, Mbappé’s form will be critical, especially as the team is already struggling with defensive injuries. If he does not find his rhythm soon, the club could face difficulties in upcoming matches, including those that could decide their Champions League progression.

Mbappé is expected to return to training with his teammates this Monday, and fans will be hoping for a positive sign when Real Madrid faces Leganés next Sunday. The outcome of that match could play a crucial role in boosting the team’s morale before their vital trip to face Liverpool on Wednesday.

As the pressure mounts, all eyes will be on Mbappé to see if he can overcome his struggles and return to the level of performance that has made him one of the world’s top players.
